Music filtered through to the servants room as people laughed out loud, guzzling large drinks of wine or brandy.
Upstairs the butler expertly wheeled around potbellied, cigar smoking men wearing excessive waistcoats and shirts. There was a 'pock!' when someone hit the snooker balls on the huge pool table. A cheer went up as the butler emerged into the smoke filled room. On the other side of the huge room sat the ladies of the party, drinking cups of tea and chatting among themselves.
