Not so the American servant.

Strictly speaking there are no servants in America.
The man, or the woman as the case may be, who happens for the moment to be your servant, is only servant for the time being.

He has no intention of making domestic service his profession, of being a servant for the whole of his life.

To have to be subject to the will of others, even to the small extent to which American servants are subordinate, is offensive to an American's pride of citizenship, it is contrary to his conception of American equality.

He is a servant only for the time, and until he finds something better to do.
