Is there really anybody left like this Brigadier?
Oh yes. I once knew a real Brigadier who told me that he "really hated overseas [officer] candidates", and when an African candidate arrived late for an interview, whispered that "they have no idea about punctuality on that continent."
And I know someone who was like this Brigadier, but not actually a Brigadier. At Henley a few years back, I distinctly recall one crew rowing past with a negro in the two seat. The pseudo- brigadier in question then bellowed at the top of his voice: BY GOD SIR! THAT CHAP'S SO RICH HE'S GOT HIS MAN ROWING FOR HIM.
very interesting... i like it
Is this based on our mutual military friend with a large head and saddlebags overflowing with corpulent fat?
"...Nor was the sixteenth-century sodomite a homosexual. In 1631, Mervyn Touchet, Earl of Castlehaven, was tried and executed for sodomy. It is clear from the proceedings that the earl was not understood by himself or anyone else to be a particular kind of sexual individual. ... The earl did not slip into his tightest doublet and waltz down to the nearest gay tavern to mingle with his fellow sodomists. He stayed in the manor house and buggered his servants. Gay self-awareness, gay pubs, the sense of group commonality, and even the term homosexual were not part of the earl's universe."
- Gayle Rubin, Thinking Sex: Notes for a Radical Theory of the Politics of Sexuality
"There is a world of difference between 'being a homo' and 'maintaining discipline among the servant classes'. The former is gay to the max; the latter is the duty of any self-respecting Gentleman of wealth and standing."
- from "Bugger Your Butler" by Mervyn Touchet, Earl of Castlehaven
Buggering is strictly disciplinary, then?
There are only two ways in which a Gentleman can assume a position of utter dominance over his butler. The first is to consume him. The second, to bugger him.
"...Even as I hastily scrawl this note in my pantry, I can hear Lord Castlehaven at the top of the back stair. 'I say, Rawlins, come here!' he calls brightly - and again, his voice betraying only the slightest quiver. I must not appear too quickly. Master would hate to learn how keenly I look forward to these 'discussions of domestic matters' in the library..."
- Diary of an English Butler (1630)
