Number 24 – They make good men into butlers, and butlers into slaves

It was all going so well, I thought this book might be getting more accurate with the previous chapter, but then, Mr Grasse goes and ruins it again.
Butlers were – and indeed are – thought of very highly, both by the people the serve and by the people who serve under them (basically they are managers of a household). They are well paid for the work they do and are much loved.
To give the example of Paul Burrell at the end of this chapter is foolish, as any British person knows he is scum, he has besmirched the good name of the Royals with his lies. He was called to the inquest into the death of Princess Diana and, in his words "told the truth as far as I could – but I didn't tell the whole truth. Perjury is not a nice thing to have to contemplate. I was very naughty.", this caused the coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, to warn the jury by saying "You have heard him in the witness box and, even without what he said subsequently in the hotel room in New York, it was blindingly obvious that the evidence that he gave in this court was not the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
