Two tales, past and present, comprise this first volume in a collection of anthologies describing the fall to service under the heel of the female by men brought low by the vicissitudes of fate and their own inner weakness. Ms Rachilde’s “Manservant” is our first misadventure and describes how a dissolute English gentleman in the 1920's finds himself out of options after his inheritance has been squandered and his debts – including one to a vengeful and homicidal underworld figure - have become unsustainable… All options but one, that is… The option to become the full-time live-in Manservant to a trio of financially sound, genteel and lesbian ladies who would enjoy nothing more than having their own captive male. Our second tale of involuntary service is Rafael Menton’s “The Manservant” as a former husband, father and teacher, is wrongly imprisoned after being accused by a female pupil with a crush on him. Divorced and estranged from his daughters, the released innocent is about to be made homeless when he sees an ad from a couple seeking a man for a live-in position in affluent Blackheath… A man they intend to be make their manservant... FOREVER! This is book-one in the “Domestic Servitude” collection.
