... but I guess it's in keeping with the manners of the time.
As for servants marrying I think maybe that rule was only for the very largest estates, am I right? Many of the smaller estates only had a few servants, and surely some of them must have been married, maybe even to another servant employed on the estate. The story of the chauffeur marrying the third daughter was far-fetched I thought. But many things changed after the end of the Great War, so who knows.
All in all I tend to forgive them for their eccentricities because the show is so well done.
