An Awkward Moment - after reading extracts from Margaret Powell’s “Below Stairs”

My name is Gerald Edward, nephew to Lady Cutler,
I have my own motor and the services of a butler.
I’m a bounder, a scoundrel, nothing but a cad,
Working my way through maids, Agnes was the last I had.

She was an innocent peach and more than willing
To do all I asked for the sum of half a shilling.
I inveigled my way into her room one night,
Up the back staircase, and then another flight.

Gently, I rapped on the door with my cane.
Agnes responded and my entrance I gained.
She’d already disrobed down to cami and bloomers,
Her breasts plump and bursting – just like the rumours.

I’d tipped her the wink, earlier at tea,
When she’d handed me crumpets that she laid at my knee.
A blush – hardly noticeable – appeared on her cheeks,
And I hankered for the climax, after many patient weeks.

I’d carefully showered and dressed in my best,
Buttoned up my breeches, tucked in my vest,
Knowing soon that Agnes would denude me on instruction,
And looking forward, immensely, to some “below stairs” corruption!

I lowered the straps on her cami of silk
Revealing her breasts, like honey and milk.
With one hand on her cheek, and the other on her navel,
I lowered her bloomers, best as I was able.

By now Agnes panted and I felt my ardour stiffen.
There was no going back now – it would have to be a quick ‘un.
Agnes helped me to undress - her hands were used to toiling.
There she lay upon the bed, just ripe for spoiling.

I was just about to mount her, thought I’d try her from the rear,
When I heard a little tinkling sound, right next to my ear.
Heaven forbid! My ardour I must bury!
It was My Lady Cutler, ringing for a sherry!

Upstairs Downstairs.

Upstairs Downstairs was a UK TV show that ran from 1971 to 1975.

It was set in a large townhouse in EdwardianFirst World War and interwar Belgravia in London, the series depicted the lives of the servants "downstairs" and their masters—the family "upstairs". 

Great events featured in the episodes but minor or gradual changes in society were also noted. The series stands as a document of the social and technological changes that occurred between 1903 and 1930.

The show regularly pulled in high ratings. The last ever episode was watched by over 8 million viewers.

Recently this theme has been repeated with international success with Downton Abbey, currently being broadcasted in over 100 countries.




Random Joke of the Day

9 out of 10 dermatologists agree that towels are the leading cause of dry skin.



If you start counting at one and spell out the numbers as you go, you won't use the letter "A" until you reach 1,000.


Finish with a Song
Given Lynda's poem, we'll stay with the theme, this is The Eagles with Pretty Maids all in a Row, released in 1976.
