Miss Fairfax lives!

I'm not sure which bemuses me more -- that this situation occurred, or that it was worthy of a newspaper article!

And why, exactly, did M Jassim brave stiff opposition from his wife, anyway?

Doesn't it all sound like the makings of a Jane Austen novel?

I'm also curious about the wife. She the minor villain in the story, it seems.

Well, goodness. It's such a bother when the help goes and gets married! Now who will dust the chandeliers?

At least they're planning on being "without issues" for their remaining two years of maid-ing. I'm assuming this is an archaic translation of "without children" and not a wish for a problem-free marriage. (Then again, possibly both.)

quit grousing, Peregrine

What's your problem?

You note that after they return he will allow his servant to see her husband once a week. What more could you ask for? :=)
