I did think it was good, if rather negative all the way through.

I would have liked to have heard a little more on what people were expected to do during their day - I didn't fancy the cleaning 60 pairs of shoes and boots followed by 300 lamps to clean and prime, but then I was thinking, in a household with 60 indoor servants would there really only be one hall boy?

Seeing the amount of work required to clean a small mirror was a bit of an eyeopener!
