    They were absolutely the same social class as plumbers. Service to nobility provided half the jobs in a village sometimes.

      Okay you just answered my question.

      Check. You’re not getting it.

      Again: the chambermaid’s tale has potential for classic romantization. She’s close to the noble Sir of the house, they have the affair, bro. The. Affair. And Ma’am kills her because of it.

      The plumber won’t get cozy with the Lord in some nonsensical 25 cent love novel. The housemaid will. That’s why it pays off as a fantasy.

      This is not about class but about some la la land fantasy.
