chauffeur for present day castles, upstairs maid, downstairs maid, seamstress, laundress, gardeners, stablehands, governess, personal secretary. I'm trying to remember what I've seen in the movies. There are bound to be electricians, carpenters, windowwashers, etc. too.

You going to a castle? Mark is going to be visiting castles when he goes to Ireland.....

[Coll]

Train, I wish. I am planning a baby shower for Ashley, she is having a girl. After 3 boys I want her to feel like a Princess so I'm wanting to do a Princess shower.

I want to learn a little about all the people who are employed in a castle.
Scullery maids we given the tougher jobs in the kitchen such as scrubbing the floors, etc.

I wish I could go with Mark to Ireland.

I wonder how many of each there were. Also wonder what they were paid. I am thinking back to Cinderella times, not todays times.
