Murder Every Monday: You Rang, Sir?

 

Kate at Cross Examining Crime hosts a fun mystery cover game on Instagram called Murder Every Monday. Our assignment, should we choose to accept it, is to display book covers and titles from books you own that meet prompts which she posts well in advance (see link). 

 

Today's theme is Covers &/or Titles with a servant (butler, maid, gardner, etc.). I managed to find a few obscure positions.
