Continuity of Servants Written by Pennie (9/18/2006 11:04 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ooops -My apologies, Deborah!, penned by JulieW

Another thing to consider when keeping the old servants is that they know how the house runs. They know that trick with cleaning that corner which is always problematic. They know when maintenance has last been carried out. They know who the best fishmonger is in the local area. An entirely new set of household staff would have to figure this out for themselves.
