She was extremely uncharitable: she extended her ungenerous criticism to the institution of the footman: England, and the English, were lashed. 'These people are caricatures, Tuckham said, in apology for poor England burlesqued abroad. 'You must not generalize on them. Footmen are footmen all the world over. The cardinals have a fine set of footmen. 'They are at home.
