It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, and common sense, spends rather a lot of time drawn up in his study perusing the sensations his hand can produce. Not a wife for him, no; not the daily hum-drum of bustle in the household and the distraction from his evening follies with gentleman friends. Nor the dalliances with eligible young ladies to be ended, of course. No, far better to remain sequestered for that evening ritual, with printed clippings of nothing, I'm sure, more scandalous than a flash of ankle to peruse while groans fall from one's lips.

Yet this does prove disagreeable from time to time, and such discretions are ghastly when performed in a dusty study. It would be most unfortunate to go without a lady of the house for much longer, although, to speak correctly, a lady is not what I intend to seek. Quite the contrary.

Onward!

One suitably spacious home in the lower west district, fully furnished after the tragic demise of the elder Mister Heathcoate's in a bit of an evening folly of his own. One young gentleman of impeccable repute, late from the service and now in the estimable field of making numbers jump about in the pursuit of Science and Progress. One modestly furnished room for a maid, with board included, with generous allowance for necessities and sundries, and Sundays off. Uniforms provided, laundry available. Electric lighting scheduled to be installed: A modern and maintainable home with agreeable employer.

All these await any suitably inclined young lady; experience as a maid preferred but not essential. Inquire at 1276 Cuthbertson Row prepared to begin.

Other particulars: Must be prepared for slight unusual services such as and when required. Reading in the study at late hours for pleasant discussion (must be literate, naturally). Must be able to clean laboratory equipment. Must be capable of giving a gentleman's cock a long, lusty fucking suck and taking a hot load straight up the arse. Must be familiar with Miss Chatham's Guide to Etiquette or prepared to learn. Experience in table-setting and folding sheets in the French method preferred.
