| Summary | "The Servant in the House" by Charles Rann Kennedy is a play written during the early 20th century. The story unfolds in an English country vicarage, focusing on the lives of a vicar, his wife, their niece Mary, and a mysterious new butler named Manson. The central theme revolves around familial relationships and moral complexities, particularly concerning the arrival of the Bishop of Benares, a significant figure with ties to the vicar's family. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the characters as they prepare for breakfast. Mary, the vicar's niece, interacts with Manson, the new butler, showing curiosity about his origins and religion. The vicar, filled with anxiety over church issues and the arrival of his estranged brother Robert, presents a mix of tension in his family dynamic. The interplay between Manson’s mysterious nature and the vicar’s troubled conscience hints at deeper questions of faith, brotherhood, and the struggle for redemption that will likely unfold throughout the play. The opening lays the groundwork for a drama that explores moral dilemmas in an intriguing manner, inviting curiosity about the true background of the characters.
