I kinda feel sorry for M. Dubiard. maybe he is a little short with people but he has to cook monstrous meals all day with antiquated equipment while he tries to get people to do what is supposed to be their job anyway and often ends up doing some of those jobs himself. Frankly I don't blame him for being angry so often.

"The poor will always be with you." Douchey misinterpretation there. No christian myself, but it's pretty clear big J was suggesting that rather than criticizing the giver (a woman gifting expensive perfume to him as part funeral right), remember that there will always be a time to help others. Given that the guy preached that the rich will essentially never enter heaven, and that the meek shall inherit the earth, he probably wasn't all for exploitative social stratification.

Monsieur, as many people commented, is justifiably stressed. But Mr Edgar really should lighten up a little...his obvious crush on Charlie is revolting, but he seems very at home in a period where such things were repressed. Wonder what he would have done if he had caught Kenny and Charlie messing around behind that tree!

ugh...sir j and family (except the sister-in-law) are so smug and insufferable...they should be forced to switch roles with the servants at the end of the "project".

in a house like that there will be more servants then what there is right now in that house.

Mrs. Anderson is such a sweet heart, comes back just to thank Mr. Dubiard then proceeds, she's my favorite charcter

It's a pity that Sir John's aristocratic guests did not wear Edwardian costumes. Perhaps they could not afford them.
