Gibbon
Gibbon is the ancient butler of Saxby Hall.
Lord Saxby tried to give Gibbon his notice a dozen times or more. However, the servant was so old, just short of a hundred, that he had become very deaf and blind. As a result it was impossible to tell him to go. Even if you shouted right into his ear, the poor old soul wouldn’t hear a thing. Gibbon had worked for the Saxbys for generations. He had been in the service for them for so long, he had become part of the family…
So Gibbon continued to roam Saxby Hall carrying on with his duties, though in a totally topsy-turvy way.
