THE BUTLER.
THE BUTLER.
At 27-year-old Russian Lejly Usubovoj a rare trade - it
The unique woman accepted in the International guild
Gentlemen-butlers. Her name was included into the list of 300 best batlerov
The world.
This tiny smiling girl, probably, has decided to overthrow
Familiar to us under books and films an image of the prudish butler,
Which a silver spoon cautiously puts something on a plateau
It is grey-klejsternoe also a metal voice says: "yours
Porridge, s-ee-er! ".
- Happens, that morning of our visitors begins and with porridge, -
Laughs Lejla. - At everyone the tastes, and I should in accuracy
To execute and even to foresee their wishes.
- In modern perception the butler is something archaic,
A little strewn lightly with naphthalene. And the girl-butler:
Why you have selected this trade?
- The world, and together with it and our relation to trades varies,
Including to a trade batlera. In my opinion, it that
On there is female, because in hotel business a class service -
It first of all attention to trifles that is characteristic more for
Women.
- Really Englishmen or Frenchmen were mistaken, giving
Preference to butlers-men?
- To the man, especially the Russian working in sphere
Service, seldom it is possible to reach the international level
Service. To weld, a tax to clean a coffee cup, to support conversation -
Same the whole science where enters not only ethics of behaviour, but also
Knowledge of psychology, ability intuitively to guess mood,
Mood of the visitor. There is also such important nuance:
Foreign visitors irrespective of their floor prefer that them
The woman served. And England - the country conservative, with for a long time
The settled way, including in service sphere.
- What enters into duties of the butler?
- The main thing - to make everything that visitors had a sensation
House cosiness. And after all at everyone the habits, even whims, and
It should be considered. I have learnt to define character of the person and
Its mood even how it reserves tea or coffee.
Let's tell, the businessman at whom each minute is painted,
At once speaks, what grade of coffee and what way to it to make.
The ordinary, "standard" parlourmaid is engaged in number
Twice a day - does cleaning in the morning and in the evening. And we with the visitor
Constantly: we arrange its life, we carry out commissions. Has
Value each trifle - for example, under what corner to put on
To shelf in a bathroom shampoo or a tooth-brush that it was more convenient than them
To take, how much towels to prepare - six (under the standard) or
Twelve. If the visitor smokes much, instead of two obligatory
Ashtrays it is necessary to place them everywhere. To watch, that everywhere under
Matches were a hand. You will not believe, but when the table is served for
The English queen, a ruler measure each centimetre from one
The device to another.
To such level of service we try to adhere and we.
If the visitor wakes up in seven mornings, already in seven fifteen I
Should bring to it fresh newspapers and coffee, and through ten
Minutes to spend in restaurant, not forgetting on a way to conduct the secular
Conversation on the latest news, on weather to be interested it
Plans for forthcoming day. Sometimes it is necessary to organise to the visitor
Theatre tickets to show it a city, even to dress up, if to it
Not planned meeting at the summit is necessary, but is not present
Time for buying a tie, a suit or a dress. Thus
The butler has no right to make the wrong choice. I can is approximately exact
To define a clothing size, footwear, material possibilities of the visitor.
Once at us the lady whom have unexpectedly invited on has stopped
Meeting with Patriarch Alex, and its clothes at all
Approached for such visit. I Was necessary to be engaged in purchases, and
"Has hit the nail", the guest very much thanked me. In general we
We aspire to that our hotel became for visitors the second house.
They also behave accordingly, home-style. Can, for example,
To walk about after a bath neglizhe.
- Probably, you on it react as that gentleman, which,
Having seen the bared lady, has covered behind itself a door and has told: "Again
Anybody is not present "?
- So. I had a case: has brought a breakfast in number, and
The owner in bed with the lady. The tray at me from hands has not dropped out. I
Has put it on a little table and has easy left.
- Probably, you have received these skills during study in England?
By the way, how you there have got?
- To Moscow with a master class there has arrived Robert Watson - most
Known in aristocratic circles of the world the butler. Once it
Worked in prestigious English hotel "п п п п?я п п?я п?" and hotel
Business has studied thoroughly. It was the butler at Schwarzenegger,
Madonnas, Michael Jackson, at other stars. Also has decided to pass the
Experience to train batlerskoj trades the Russian youth. To me
Watson's first lesson when he has told was remembered: "the Present
To butlers will be the one who in a year after my arrival will be
To remember, in what order subjects on my toilet laid
Little table and how much slices of sugar I put in morning coffee ". Through
Year it has really returned to us to hotel that we could on
To practice to show it the knowledge and skills. Then to me and
Have offered training in "Lejnsboro".
- Were not afraid to get there vprosak?
- At all. Worked on a level with English colleagues.
The only thing that was for me new, is technical
The equipment, allowing to observe of the visitor. Not videocameras or
Taps, there technics of other sort. You look on
The display, you watch change of conditional symbols and you define,
Whether probably at present number visiting by the serving
The personnel, whether your help and which is necessary to the visitor:
- But how you managed to become one of the best butlers of the world?
- Has passed very strict professional tests at the mister
Watson also has received the certificate of the International guild of butlers. To
Me one lady balzakovskogo was a member of guild only
Age, besides smoking a tube, that at all did not decorate it.
Therefore, mister Watson has told, "Lejlu quite reasonably it is possible
To consider as the first and best woman-butler ".
- As to any woman, you, probably, it would be desirable to put on fashionably,
To afford perfume, a make up, and you are strictly enough dressed.
The trade obliges?
- I can be fashionable out of hotel. And at job I adhere
Certain standards. In them it is stipulated, what should be
Manicure, cosmetics, perfume and clothes of attendants.
Therefore I do not feel any infringement of female vanity, job
There is a job. I know the place on a social ladder, but me
At all my role does not weigh. Though what to hide, sometimes happens
Enviably, looking at a magnificent life of lodgers of our hotel
"Aurora Marriot Rojal". But exclusive things are and at me on
To job: here this dress coat of the butler specially for me have sewed
The London tailors.
- And what eminent visitors to you should be met?
- Prime ministers of the different countries, ministers. But we keep from
Them, so to say, on respectful distance. More all
Alain Delon was remembered. I saw, how grown old and quite
The realising age the actor went on a lobby and bowed to everyone
To the lady - did it not hurrying up, trying in female eyes to catch
Delight. There was in it any pressing grief: "stars", as well as all
People, grow old, but they so would not like it. Perhaps because in number
At Delon always was more spirits, rather than in others.
- Speak, at rich the whims. Can recollect
Any funny thing?
- One high-ranking visitor has asked to show the butler
To it North star on which it is guided in space.
The butler in our wardroom flies: "I can not find this
Star, help! "We have run up on hotel, have found the party, whence
The star was looked through, have shown to the visitor, and he has calmed down at once.
Certainly, with curiosity it would be desirable to ask, for what to it was
North star is necessary, but it is not necessary to us.
- Such visitor, probably, and tip good pays?
- Foreigners are able to estimate attention.
- And if someone from rich visitors offers you a hand and heart?
- I will tell, that it was late. I have a liked. It
The courageous, courageous person whom also should be the rescuer,
To the professional climber working in structure of the Ministry of Emergency Measures.
