  Passepartout (SAJV) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before becoming Phileas Fogg's valet, he had been a circus acrobat, lumberjack, large-animal veterinary assistant, and hairdresser to the Emperor of Ethiopia.
Passepartout does his best to be an exemplary manservant, ironing his master's Times every morning, keeping his evening wear immaculate.
When the occasion arises he is also a fair cook, though with a taste for the exotic that Fogg deplores.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: The Manservant (Traditional)
Flanked by her manservant, the Headmistress scrutinized the running pack with interest; the bucks and princes finished their limbering-up, and the twenty-furlong course was over.
She looked at the sun, and she looked determinedly at the full-grown bucks and princes walking toward the cars waiting to take them away.
Suddenly, she poked her manservant in the groin with her elbow.

 Ivy Compton-Burnett | Introduction to 'Manservant and Maidservant'
Their difficulty may in turn account for the fact that they were fashionable, and that they are not much read today, so that a new edition of Manservant and Maidservant may be for many readers an introduction to the works of this fascinating novelist.
It was the first of her novels to be published in America, under the title Bullivant and the Lambs (the publisher fearing, perhaps, that references to maids and footmen might seem too undemocratic or too old-fashioned), and was instantly successful here as well.
Rereading Ivy Compton-Burnett’s Manservant and Maidservant makes one almost regret the disappearance from modern fiction of that peculiarly Victorian villain, the tyrannical father, so convincing is her rendition, so satisfying is Horace Lamb to hate.

At once the strangest and most marvelous of Ivy Compton-Burnett’s fictions, Manservant and Maidservant has for its subject the domestic life of Horace Lamb, sadist, skinflint, and tyrant.
The Great War, she said, left her "smashed up." In 1925, at the age of forty-one, she published Pastors and Masters, the first of nineteen novels written in her mature manner; the last, A God and His Gifts, appeared in 1963.

 Manservant
Sometimes being a manservant means being able to give the appearance of a nice gravel.
A manservant is very close to his master; he knows the smallest details about his master's schedule and foods and drinks and women, even down to the usual times that his master uses the potty.
I mean to point out that it is quite natural for a manservant, when he is spending all this time caring for clothes, to sometimes think ahead to when these clothes might be his.

 Scifilm -- Musings, KING OF THE ZOMBIES (1941)
Two men crash-land on an island with their manservant.
This sporadically dull horror film is noteworthy for two things; the first is that it actually netted an Academy Award nomination (Best Scoring for a Dramatic Picture), which was apparently a result of how pictures were chosen for nomination in those days.
The other is more significant; the movie has a bang-up comic performance from Mantan Moreland, unfortunately working in a fl manservant type of role that is considered stereotypical nowadays.

Still, for all of its artificiality, you'd be hardpressed to beat MANSERVANT AND MAIDSERVANT as a superior exercise in style.
Compton-Burnett's witty and troubling vision of the effect of a wicked Victorian paterfamilias's repentance is exceptionally striking and thought-provoking, and though this novel is not quite up to the level of A HOUSE AND ITS HEAD (also recently reissued by NYRB Press in a stunning paperback edition), it is one of her best works nonetheless.
