His Excellency had a bad headache, and his major-domo was hard at work rubbing his head with his hands. I laughed, but said nothing. Whenever any one hurts himself by bruises or falls, the limb affected is rubbed and stretched, and stretched and rubbed, until the poor sufferer's limb is nearly severed from his body.
Pulitzer's bedroom there were, on the port side, the cabins of the major-domo, the captain, the head butler, the chief engineer, an officers' mess room, the ship's galley, a steward's mess room, and the cabins of the chief steward and one or two officers. Corresponding with these there were, on the starboard side, the cabins of the secretaries and the doctor, "The Cells," as we called them.
He came close up to her, scarcely according her the civility of greeting. Never had she seen his countenance more gloomy. "You can tell me truer than those drunken devils below stairs," he said. "Where is your sister?" "At Lady Sarah Tewkesbury's." "So her major-domo swears; but her chairmen, whom I found asleep in the hall, say they set her down at the palace." "At Whitehall?"
Acor added that, while he had not the slightest doubt that this statement was in the main true, he had just as little doubt that certain of the persons whom he questioned had lied, and among them he strongly suspected Sachar's major-domo, and the Lord Nimri, Sachar's brother-in-law.
To be sure, we broke many a piece of bread together in war and peace in the same service. Ah, Frau Barbara! I am far better off here than I deserve to be; but sometimes my heart is ready to break when I think of my Emperor, and that I must leave the care of him to others."

All persons engaged in the enterprise were immediately condemned to death, and the Spanish soldier executed without delay. The others being considered, on account of their loyalty to their master as deserving a commutation of punishment, were sent to the galleys. The major-domo, whose ill-timed gallantry had thus cost Montigny his liberty, received two hundred lashes in addition.
He appeared to be the major-domo, or steward, of some great nobleman's establishment, and, in effect, announced to Herode that he had been sent to consult with him, as manager of the troupe, by his master, the Comte de Pommereuil. This highly respectable old functionary was richly dressed in black velvet, and had a heavy gold chain round his neck.
A low bow followed this remark; then, with quiet dignity, the major-domo reported that the leaders of the orchestra and the boy choir had been waiting below and with them Sir Wolf Hartschwert and an old gentleman, the father of this lady a considerable time for her return.
"Will I clane the whole of thim off for you for a penny, your ladyship's honour, ma'am?" asked the oldest of the ragamuffins, and I gladly assented to the novel proposition. He did it, too, and there seemed to be no hurt feelings in the company. Just then there was a rattle of cabs and side-cars, and our self-constituted major-domo engaged two of them to await our pleasure.
Or it may be a trick: Lord Beltham was murdered, and perhaps " Lady Beltham looked intently at the major-domo, seemingly trying to read his thoughts. Then she answered slowly: "I will see him. I will be more pitiful than you," and as the major-domo and the porter made a gesture of futile protest, she added peremptorily: "I have given my orders: kindly obey."
