Sir: Concerning Miss Troughton's article (The smack of firm governesses', 9 Octo- ber), one is immediately appalled: Will this do? No, this will not do. The entire article is infested with numerous misquotations, gross inaccuracies, vulgar expressions, a sleazy ambiance, an intimidating tone, a quasi-humour and all the glib, smug innu- endoes that are the characteristics of the second-half of the 20th century, which is referred to as Babylon by most Romantics.
Miss Troughton admits to wearing a dog- collar at the event. How appropriate! Per- haps she was expressing a deep unfulfilled need. Let me reassure Miss Troughton that whether she is wearing her dog-collar or not, she could thoroughly benefit from training, obedience and discipline to improve her hearing, memory, demeanour and sensibility. Perhaps Miss Troughton's true persona is that of a domestic servant in bonded service. There is a household in NE London which is in need of domestic staff, and in particular a scullery maid, and if she would telephone 071 263 5003, an interview may be arranged if she is found suitable.
