more the kind of thing that an expensive hotel buys, than the kind of a thing that a thoughtfully furnished home has. It bore the marks of all being done at one time instead of done as you went along, buying things that you saw that you liked and putting them together.

The servants of the Executive Mansion in the State of New York are civil servants. They work for the State of New York and are paid by the State of New York. They have rights of tenure, seniority and everything else, like any other civil servants, particularly the butler. He was a famous person in New York. He was a very, very stiff, correct English butler. He'd been there for years, was as stiff as a ramrod, a perfect stage English butler with a round, bald head that had been blond in his youth, with blue eyes and a flat, inexpressive face. He could bend from the hips just as easily as other people bend from the neck. He was very correct. He never unbent and never was anything but serious. He didn't quite “milady” you, but he might have in another minute. You were shown into the right rooms, with never a word that indicated any human interest in who you were, what you came for, where the Governor was, or where the Governor's lady was, why she wasn't there if she wasn't there. There was not a trace of any human interest in the people who came to the house on business or on such social calls.
