Between staff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The domestic workers in a great house whose work crosses between the areas of responsibility of the Butler, the Housekeeper and the Cook are known as between staff.

These include:

• between maids (often called hall girl in the United States)
• hall boy
• still room maid
• useful man or houseman
• dog man or cat man

One common characteristic of between staff is that they never enter the dining room.
