   Offhand your background seems to be a variant of the stereotypical large   
   Victorian manor upstairs/downstairs establishment where most of the   
   employees are servants, and are expected to not have any other lives   
   than the estate, and especially not do things like getting married   
   (especially the female servants who would then presumably quit and have   
   to be replaced), etc.  The senior employees who don't have these   
   draconian rules are the upper crust/nobility/whatever, though it is   
   actually possible to move upwards to that level; and if you ever want   
   children you'd better move up mighty fast.  This has possibilities.
