Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters to John Bull, Esq.: On Affairs Connected With His Landed Property the Persons Who Live Thereon Dear and Respected John, - Although I deeply sympathise with your natural vexation at the troubled state of your Town Household in Downing Street, and although, at other times, I might have much to say upon the disorders of that establishment, - yet at this moment your rural affairs appear to me in a condition so bad and unpromising, as to claim all the attention which you can spare from your just quarrel with the Pope, and your hospitalities to the strangers you have invited to your Barmecide´s feast on the banks of the Serpentine. I bear no ill-will, my dear John, to your present servants; they arc horrible plagues to you, it is true, - but servants always are. 1 believe many of them to be extremely intelligent, - I am sure that they are as honest as day. All they want is a comfortable situation - wages no object. And that, somehow or other, the situation is not comfortable, seems perfectly clear; for though they´ve expressed themselves ready to go, - yet when it comes to the point, nobody else appears anxious to step into their shoes. It used not to be so, my dear John; I remember the time when you could not discharge a servant from Downing Street, but what his face was as long as my arm, and you had plenty to choose from, amongst applicants who were thoroughly up to their business.
