Bellamy

A house like Sir George Wareham's Barwell Towers needs a butler deluxe; and Bellamy fills the bill. In fact, he is too good to be true. No real-life butler could achieve the know-how and aplomb of Bellamy; only years of laying stage butlers could produce such a polish. Bellamy, separated from his wife, Mavis, and tired of the uncertainty of the boards, is serving sir George and Lady Wareham. Life at Barwell Towers is not exactly smooth; what with Dick Wareham producing Amvis as his fiancée; Pamela Wareham being unofficially engaged to a specious character called Mortimer; and an American neighbour, Hector, taking pot shot at birds and winging Pamela by mistake. Then there are burglaries in the district, and Bellamy is suspected by sir George because his referees can't be traced in Who's Who. But Bellamy hardly flinches, and continues to keep his capable hands on the strings; if there is one thing that cracks his façade, ever so slightly, it's the fact that mavis wants a divorce to marry Dick. For Bellamy still loves Mavis. In the end, however, he manages to convince her that she still loves him too, saves Sir George from being financially ruined by Mortimer, and in doing so wins Pamela for Hector - who is, by the way, an American millionaire, and it is common knowledge how clever they are at holding the impoverished aristocracy together.
