The household is composed of from twenty-five to thirty servants; namely--two cooks, a scullion, two water-carriers, four servants to wait at table, four housemaids, a lamp-cleaner, and half-a-dozen seis or grooms.

Besides this, there are at least six horses, to every one of which there is a separate groom; two coachmen, two gardeners, a nurse and servant for each child, a lady's maid, a girl to wait on the nurses, two tailors, two men to work the punkahs, and one porter.

The wages vary from four to eleven rupees (8s.

to 1 pounds 2s.) a month.

None of the domestics are boarded, and but few of them sleep in the house: they are mostly married, and eat and sleep at home.
