THE STEWARD’S ROOM BOY.

There is seldom a lad of this description kept, except in families

where there is a house steward, or comptroller of the household, when

the servant is appointed to attend on him, run on errands, carry

messages, &c. He waits at table, or makes himself otherwise useful in

the steward’s-room; trims the lamps that are in use below stairs, and

cleans the servants’ boots and shoes. Wages from 8l. to 12l. per annum.
