The big housekeeper himself is too busy to have time to fall in love...

It turned out to be the work of Kazuo Ishiguro, and I don't know if I don't watch the barrage.

I thought the English manor was lonely and boring, but I didn't expect it to be so busy that I couldn't care about love...

Twenty years later, I hurriedly sent a blessing... The role of the big housekeeper is quite well-established. In front of the master, in front of his dying father, in front of guests, and in front of his lover, he is so restrained and shows no emotion at all.

But it is also a professional requirement for a big housekeeper! Really dedicated to home.

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • Miss Kenton: [about a new housemaid] You don't like having pretty girls on the staff, I've noticed.

    [teasing]

    Miss Kenton: Might it be that our Mr Stevens fears distraction? Can it be that our Mr Stevens is flesh and blood after all and doesn't trust himself?

    Stevens: [with the faintest trace of a smile] You know what I'm doing, Miss Kenton? I'm placing my thoughts elsewhere as you chatter away.

    Miss Kenton: ...then why is that guilty smile still on your face?

    Stevens: Oh it's not a guilty smile. I'm simply amused by the sheer nonsense you sometimes talk.

    Miss Kenton: It *is* a guilty smile. You can hardly bear to look at her. That's why you didn't want to take her on, she's too pretty.

    Stevens: Well, you must be right Miss Kenton, you always are.

  • Miss Kenton: I don't know what my future is. Ever since Katherine, my daughter, got married last year, my life has been empty. The years stretch before me and if only I knew how to fill them. But, I would like to be useful again.
