Splendid Jugs in the Home
Splendid jugs found in the home
As you can see the opulent surroundings of my smoking room. I have all the modern conveniences (or “Mod-Cons” in the trend-setting, ultra-up-to-date crowd parlance) that the modern Edwardian requires. Ah yes, I see they have caught your eye. Aren’t they simply stunning? Such a magnificent pair of splendid jugs. In fact, I would say enormous jugs. I believe you have spotted Molly. She is one of the downstairs servants (a maid nonetheless). She is of course attempting to reduce the continual ingress of dust, by the use of her feather duster contraption.
Invasion of the fairer gender
Now, I think I know what you are thinking. Why would a member of the fairer gender (though of the servant class of course) be daring to sully the sanctity of a gentleman’s smoking room? You are probably thinking, “Well, it’s simply unheard of!”
Furthermore, I know that in most households, this kind of invasion would normally result in a series of character-building disciplinary beatings. This is often followed by the dismissal of the disloyal trespassing cur. However, I consider myself a modern employer with a very tolerant outlook for our times. I must say though, when the situation requires it, I have been known to meter out the required discipline. Often using my trusty table tennis paddle.

Indeed, as you can see in this image, a modern wonder of Silver Nitrate, there is nothing finer than to partake in the appreciation of the finer things that the British Empire provides. Of which, I of course refer to getting my hands on as many glorious examples of splendid jugs as I can muster, before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

I have to answer all the subsequent enquiries, to this letter to the world. I’m afraid Molly the maid is not in the market to change employers. She has a very comfortable existence in her cupboard below the stairs and she is very happy with that. I must confess I’m surprised at all the interest in an ordinary servant, people must have very dusty homes out there.
