Thaddeus and his long-suffering wife keep house in the suburbs and endure a procession of domestic servants, each arriving with sterling references and each a fresh disaster. Seven linked tales, from Mr. Bradley’s Jewel to Jane, chart unexpected pomp, strange banquets and Christmas gifts in the comic warfare of the servant problem.
