Plot
James Bellamy, accompanied by Angus Hudson to act as his valet, goes for a weekend visit to Somerby, the country house of James' school friend, Lord "Bunny" Newbury. Hudson is depicted as an exemplary butler at Somerby Park when he keeps things running smoothly after failings by the butler, Makepiece. Another guest, Max Weinberg, is a wealthy Jewish gentleman and businessman, and shows his appreciation for Hudson's capabilities and his manner. Hudson then gets a job offer, to replace the butler at Somerby. Hudson is tempted, but his loyalty towards the Bellamy family wins out.[1][2]
