Absurd Victorian Occupations.

  1. Not so absurd: many times in this reader’s life it would have been outstanding to have someone with an objective view check one’s appearance before an important meeting—or just appearing for work!

    1. A most relevant and objective Comment from Dante P, Our Mediæval Liturgical Fashion Correspondent, for which we are most grateful.

      Indeed, Zephyrinus has often had to rely on other people's observations of Zephyrinus's not-so-correct “Wardrobe Malfunctions”.

      Perkins and Jeeves often used to offer to assist when espying Zephyrinus's wrong Dress Code and embarrassing presentation.

      Until the time they claimed to be “adjusting the correct fall of the Jacket, Sir, to give the correct impression of a Gentleman's presentation in public”.

      And it finally turned out that Zephyrinus's heirloom Watch and Chain, priceless Cuff-Links, and Regimental Tie, were all gone !!!

      Never again !!!

  2. “… adjusting the correct fall of the Jacket, Sir, to give the correct impression of a Gentleman's presentation in public..” Hilarious. The indispensable Jeeves & Perkins Ltd

    1. “ . . . The indispensable Jeeves & Perkins Ltd”

      Dante P has elevated Jeeves & Perkins Ltd to the stratospheric realms of a Mayfair Outfitters for Royalty and Gentlemen !!!

      The London Contstabulary must be informed !!!
