In this case, the cook and butler report to the lady of the house through the housekeeper.

This is a lively foray into a world where a gentleman with £2,000 a year was betraying his class if he did not employ six females and five males; where a lady could go to the grave without ever having picked up a nightdress, carried her prayer book or made a pot of tea.
It is the story of the housekeeper and the butler, the cook, the lady's maid, the valet and the coachman.
It seems Man servants were better paid than their female counterparts, (well some things haven't changed!) despite females generally having to do more work and having to provide their own clothes.
