"'There will never be slaves in Britain,' Godalming continued, 'but those who stay warm will naturally serve us, as the excellent Bessie has just served me. Have a care, lest you wind up the equivalent of some damned regimental water-bearer.'

'In India, I knew a water-bearer who was a better man than most.'"
Kim Newman (Anno Dracula)
