Inside the story
Lane is Algernon Moncrieff's dry, discreet manservant at his Half-Moon Street flat. He serves tea and cucumber sandwiches while offering deadpan observations on his master's visitors, habits, and affairs.
A composed, correct English manservant of indeterminate middle age, clean-shaven with neat hair, dressed in the formal black-and-white livery of a Victorian gentleman's valet — dark tailcoat, waistcoat, and white shirt — quietly attentive in manner.
