Sir Archibald was thE gRumpy squire of the district. For example, one morning he had complained to his servants that there was only one berry left in the fruit bowl despite never having berries for breakfast. The servants were relieved when Sir Archibald left the house - they could go about their daily chores in peace - changing beds, emptying Archibald's jerry and so on. Meanwhile, Sir Archibald would go to the ferry that took him to the island where his favourite drinking hole was and where he could set about making merry with the clientele. But when he got back home his mood would switch and the servants would have to endure him till bedtime. It was the same every day and explained the rapid turnover in staff.
