What is it about so-called slaves, male variety, who cannot even so much as say goodnight, thank you, I changed my mind and am no longer interested, please, use someone's title when it is given to them, and who can and do go about making assumptions as to people's moods or which bit of a contract can or cannot be negotiated without asking?Is politeness, as one might expect from any well brought up stranger, too much to ask from a slave?
