- Matters get out of hand when the servants mock their employers while the family are away on a summer holiday.
- It's August 1904 and with the the Bellamys away, the servants have the house to themselves. Hudson and Mrs Bridges are also absent and soon the rest, along with a few friends, begin drinking and partying. Rather than restrict themselves to below stairs, the party soon moves to the morning room and Sarah dons one of Lady Marjorie's evening gowns. They are all shocked however when the Bellamys eldest son James, a Lieutenant in the Life Guards, arrives unexpectedly. Rather than chuck them out or call the police, which is what most of them expect him to do, he embarrasses them further by playing along with their little game and serving them champagne until they are all quite drunk. Sarah however is as defiant as ever, standing up to him and managing to extract a promise from him not to tell his parents what has happened. She also makes a momentous decision about her own future.—garykmcd
- The Bellamys are in Scotland and the house is empty. One evening, servants from another house in Eaton Place visit and they gossip about their chic employers. Taking it a step further, Rose and Sarah go upstairs and Sarah dons one of Lady Marjorie's dresses. The servants hold a mock tea party in the morning room, making sport of their betters. When Sarah mockingly summons Hudson, Captain James Bellamy walks in and takes on the role of butler. The servants are mortified, but James persists. He's returned from an evening gone sour and is not in a forgiving mood. A defiant Sarah continues her charade and speaks very intimately with James. He kisses her passionately and promises not to disclose to his parents what he has come home to this evening. Never entirely satisfied in service and despite Rose's pleas to stay, Sarah leaves the very next day -- and from the front door this time.—gaelicguy
