Welcome to r/gonewanton - The Gentlemen's club where Everyone is Most Welcome NSFW

77 Upvotes

May I most humbly welcome you to my private club.

All are welcome to join, and to speak freely and easily, especially if it regards wayward and problematic servants and their ill-educated ways.

As with all clubs, there are some house rules, which I must encourage members to inspect and regard at all times.

Please make yourself comfortable, and enjoy a fine Brandy.

You are most welcome to share photolithographs of your staff in a state of undress.

Sir, Lady B___ do complain that the curtains, drapes &tc are unfit for another winter, for they are thick with cobwebs, soot and smuts. I do devise a system for maid Bessie to perfectly preserve her clothing yet ensuring the drapes are cleaned to Lady B___'s satisfaction. I stay awhile to supervise. NSFW

Sir, Upon hearing the most scurrilous rumours that have late been circulating among the village folk, I wish to make it clear that I am a most modern and progressive employer. I do not distinguish by colour or creed, and all are welcome to earn an extra halfpenny to assist me with my interests. NSFW

Sir, I should very much like to know who has wilfully torn the last five or six weeks out of my diary. It is perfectly monstrous! NSFW

Sir, My explanation that the artist girl from the village merely wished to avoid soiling her delicate clothes with paint was not, alas, received with the degree of verisimilitude that I had hoped. NSFW

Sir, Lady B___ do return from visiting most wealthy relatives, and do talk greatly of staff who welcome guests upon their arrival. I give much thought to this idea, and find it most pleasing. It later transpires that our ideas do differ somewhat, and Lady B___ hires an elderly butler. NSFW

Sir, Upon return from visiting family in the Shires, Lady B___ is excerised as to having modern entertainments, minstrels &tc. I enquire in the village as to such, and do book the Tumblers from Lesbos. Lady B___ does not appreciate their art, although I do find their European style most agreeable. NSFW

Sir, A ragged-clothed wench did call at my door enquiring of employment, and, as a modern philanthropist, I did immediately bring her in, remove her of her disease-ridden rags and put her so to work. Within a few months she shall be able to purchase new clothing, which she greatly anticipates. NSFW

Sir, To-Day I find Maid Annie acting most peculiar. She reports seeing things that others do not, and dances around in great flights of fancy, declaring herself to be the 'lizard queen'. I do suspect that she has been at the Absinthe again. NSFW

Sir, At church on Sunday I am approached by Mr Fumbleton,book dealer, who has a most instructive volume of great interest. He tells me that Mr Pepys himself did describe this as "a mighty lewd book". I retire to my library with great haste for a most satisfying evening of study and learning. NSFW

Sir, As a progressive employer, I do like to involve the staff in entertainments that their betters enjoy. I attempt to explain the rules of "French Whist" to maid Bessie but she dislikes numbers. Eventually we find a game we can both enjoy. Her hand is good, but I do have Mr Bunn the Baker. NSFW

Sir, I awoke to a great commotion from the servants quarters last night. Rushing to see what was the matter and fearing intruders, I found maids Fanny and Kitty in a most curious embrace. They hastily explained that they were marking the equinox. I shall speak to the vicar about this tomorrow. NSFW

Sirs and Madams, My good wife Lady B____, myself and all my staff, wish you a very happy Christmas and do raise a glass in a toast to you all. Correspondence over the next few days may be somewhat intermittent, as I have a large quantity of brandy to consume. Seasons felicitations to one and all. NSFW

Sir, I have instructed staff to decorate the hall with paper chains and festive frivolity. Following last year's unpleasantness (Lady B___ did walk in when a naked maid Frances sat upon my shoulders so to reach the highest candelabra) I have supplied the staff with a stout ladder. I supervise. NSFW

Sir, The Membership secretary informs me that our little club do now have 40,000 members. Whilst I am sure a quantity of members may be on the books yet long since deceased (indeed, some in Curmudgeon Hall have not moved much these past few days), I do raise a glass of Port to you all. Cheers! NSFW

Sir, A communique arrives from Gussy Herbert, currently a government delegate in France. "Arrived in Gay Paris. Trade delegation very dull, though great success after an impromptu meeting in the carriage from Lille. Much business was done in those few hours!". Poor Gussy does work hard. NSFW
