"Directions to Servants takes the form of a handbook of manners, addressed to each servant in turn, and depicting what must be the ultimate upstairs/downstairs battle. With scathing wit, Swift pits master against servant in an endless struggle for order, frugality and the best bits of the roast. Written in the author's final years of sanity, Directions of Servants is a last hilarious outpouring of cynicism at a lifetime's accumulation of poor service."--BOOK JACKET.
