The Egyptian Adventure: The Emerson Household Staff

"I don't even want to know what was on this tray that Ramses spilled."

Gargery the Butler 

Gargery is in charge of the all of the Emerson's household staff . Butler at Chalfont House (Emerson's brother) until 1896 when he transferred service to the elder Emersons since it had become evident that his personality was more attuned to their lifestyle than that of the younger Emersons. In an age when during dinner the butler was expected to stand silently behind his master and assist with the meal: when asked a question, the response was a respectable, "I wouldn't know sir." Gargery and Emerson would shock their guests, and even Amelia, when Gargery would give his opinion and would have discussions with Emerson throughout the meal. He was known to withhold the mint jelly when vexed with the family. Amelia acknowledged, "A romantic butler is a cursed nuisance," but "a butler who wields a cudgel as handily as he carves a a roast is entitled to certain privileges."
