James had been the butler of the Rutherford estate for as long as anyone could remember. He had started as a young footman, fresh out of service school, and had worked his way up through the ranks over the years. Now, at the age of 55, he was the most senior member of the household staff and oversaw all of the daily operations of the mansion.
Despite his age, James was still a spry and energetic man. He was always up before dawn, making sure that the fires were lit and the breakfast was prepared for the family. He oversaw the cleaning of the house and the maintenance of the grounds, and he made sure that the other staff were always on task.
The Rutherfords were a good family to work for, and James had always been grateful for the opportunity to serve them. He took great pride in his work and made sure that everything was always in perfect order.
One day, the family received some unexpected news. Mr. Rutherford had been offered a job in a distant city and the family would have to move. James was devastated at the thought of leaving the only home he had ever known, but he knew that his loyalty lay with the Rutherfords and he would do whatever it took to make the transition as smooth as possible.
In the end, the move was a success and James settled into his new role as the butler of the house with ease. He made sure that the family was comfortable and happy in their new home and he took great satisfaction in knowing that he had played a small part in their success. The end
