It's 1956 and Stevens is considering a motoring trip to the West Country. He's the butler at Darlington Hall, now owned by Mr Farraday who bought the property after Lord Darlington's death some three years ago. Stevens would not indulge himself by taking the trip for personal reasons but he's recently had a letter from Mrs Benn who, in the days when she was Miss Kenton was the housekeeper at Darlington Hall. There's a hint in the letter that Mrs Benn is unhappy and that her marriage is over and Stevens wonders if he might be able to solve his staffing problems by bringing her back as housekeeper.
