In fact - unless a child can do this, how will she ever know what the servant brings in when he is sent shopping. Nowadays you cannot trust your cook to order the servant himself - you have to cross check. What with prices and corruption and all you know. And its so difficult to get a servant nowadays - luckily my driver's wife works part time at home to cover the morning. You know - she had the cheek to ask me if I could use my influence to get her child into the school I send my children. The cheek! What is the world coming to? shiv
