   Summary

   After a lifetime of service at Holybourne Hall, Alfred had been eager to ignore his new employer's demands to take a few days to rest, something absolutely unacceptable as the mansion was facing some serious recruitment issues that could never bear his departure. But after receiving a letter from his old first footman, Uhtred, perhaps the holiday could actually be fruitful, and an agreement between himself and his greatest failure could be achieved, despite all dire circumstances.
