There seems to be this meme floating around, that if there's a murder
committed at an English manor house, it's the butler that did it.

Is that true? If yes, why? If no, where does the meme come from? Is it
just that the butler is the usual suspect, but he's rarely actually guilty?

(Yes, this is relevant to my WIP, and my WIP is on-topic.)

Hov, det var den forkerte gruppe (selv om det dog ikke er helt grotesk
ramt ved siden af, når man tænker lidt over det). Indlægget var ment til
< news:rec.arts.sf.composition >. Beklager. Beklager også at jeg først
har opdaget fejlen så sent, men jeg har ikke brugt meget tid på Usenet
de seneste dage...
