You don't have to be servile to be a servant. Have you never read any Jeeves and Wooster (notice who gets the top billing, by the way!)

For one lucky member of this parish, life could be about to get very weird with a high chance of increased alcohol/blood levels.
On Friday, Mrs Wife and I are going to look at some houses very near to one of you. I'll give no more clues but watch out for screaming villagers running for their lives. Then you'll know we've arrived.
