The complete three parts of Miss Irene Clearmont's story of William, a god in his own mind whose fragile kingdom is about to be revealed for the palace of paper it really is by his new maid.
Impressed by his new housekeeper’s hard-work and organisational skills, the domestically idle William cedes more and more responsibility to her without realising she has no intention of ever handing it back.
Before he knows it his life is no longer his own and he finds himself spiralling down into a life of servitude as he attempts to keep the young German girl he has become obsessed with by his side.
It would have been better for both his pride and his manhood if he had simply let her go.
