The peacock displayed himself and paraded the lawn, sometimes pausing to look up at the sky. Waiting? Listening? Guiding. No. Signalling. Controversial when first published in the early days of World War II, due to its treatment of a loathsome upper-crust family dodging wartime responsibility, A Footman for the Peacock can now be enjoyed as a scathing satire of class abuses, a comic masterpiece falling somewhere between Barbara Pym and Monty Python. Sir Edmund and Lady Evelyn Roundelay live surrounded by a menagerie of relations and retainers. The Roundelays&rsquo. history of callous cruelty is literally etched on a window of the servants&rsquo. quarters with the words &ldquo.Heryn I dye, Thomas Picocke. 1792&rdquo.. Sir Edmund reflects cheerfully on the running footmen who have &lsquo.died off like flies&rsquo. in the family&rsquo.s service. But now&mdash.amidst digressions on everything from family history and servant woes to the villagers&rsquo.
