? Well, now?
? Ain't this

? All the residents
dress so fine?
? One day off the boat am I
with a job that's nearly mine?

to high society?
Now, you may call that luck.
And you may call it fortune.
But me, meself...

fall to the ground?

'cause everywhere I see?

Good day to you, ma'am.
Would this be the home of
It would.
I've come to be interviewed
for the position of the butler.
Mrs. Biddle
does the interviewin'.
She's not at home just now.
But I had an appointment.
The Mayflower Employment Agency.
I'll tell Mrs. Biddle that
you were put out about it.
Oh.
Not at all.
I'd be pleased to call again.
Good day to ya.
What part of Ireland?
County Tyrone.
Just new here, are ya?
The day before yesterday.
Oh, well, perhaps you'd like
to wait in the kitchen.
Mrs. Biddle
will be comin' home soon.
That's very kind of you.
Thank you very much.
Faith, 'tis a grand place
you have here.
I'm the housekeeper here.
Me name's Mrs. Worth.
Mine's John Lawless.
This way, John Lawless.
Have a seat,
and I'll pour you some coffee.
Don't you be troubling yourself.
No trouble.
There's a pot
brewing on the stove.
Sit down.
Would you be from Ireland
yourself, Mrs. Worth?
I came over as young girl.
Not long ago, then.
Tell me, Mrs. Worth, what
became of the last butler?
I couldn't say.
He left in the dead of night
after being here
less than a month.
We've got a servant problem
in this house.
No use sayin' we don't.
Must be hard working
for the very rich.
I mean, they're accustomed
to havin' things just so.
That's not exactly the problem.
The wage is very low.
No, the Biddles
are generous enough.
Long hours, then?
I wouldn't say so.
There's a gorgeous sight.
Are you getting ready
for a party?
No, Mr. Biddle's
on a chocolate-cake diet.
I beg your pardon?
Cordelia!
He says it's the perfect food,
containing every
essential element.
Where is Mrs. Biddle?
She's gone shopping.
Blast!
And Cordy?
- I couldn't say.
- And the boys?
I haven't seen them since lunch.
At a time like this.
No one!
Is there something
I could do, Mr. Biddle?
Yes.
You can call Dr. Donleavy.
Tell him I've been bit
by an alligator.
Oh, dear!
Might as well live alone.
Are you a married man?
Me, sir?
No, sir.
Then you wouldn't understand.
? I've been bit on my finger?
? It could have been my leg?
? It could have been my head?
? I might have died?
? In a time of mortal peril?
? Any man should expect?
? That his family will come
rushing to his side?
? What's wrong with that??
? What's wrong with that??
? My family rushing
to my side?
? What's wrong with that??
Oh, not a thing, sir, I'm sure.
? I'm a good-hearted husband?
