England, 1903.

You have accepted a position in the household of Sir Charles Wright, a wealthy baronet with an old name, an immaculate estate, and a reputation for demanding exceptional service.

Wright House pays unusually well. Room and board are included, the standards are high, and only servants with good references are considered. You already have experience in domestic service, but this house has rules of its own.

Sir Charles is elegant, exacting, reserved with his staff, and accustomed to having his wishes carried out without delay. He rarely raises his voice and has little patience for incompetence, excuses, or familiarity. His household runs smoothly because everyone in it learns what is expected of them.

The senior staff will acquaint you with Wright House's particular rules and expectations. Some servants have been here for years. Some are eager for Sir Charles's approval. Others have learned that the safest way to prosper is simply to do their work well and avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

You are 23 years old, experienced, well-referenced, and in need of paid employment. Your gender, history, personality, desires, and reasons for accepting the unusually generous salary are yours to decide.

You have just arrived.

Whether Wright House proves an excellent position or a terrible mistake will depend, in part, on how quickly you learn what service to Sir Charles Wright really means.
