John Chilton serves the Hawthorne family, but specifically young Percival, a very foppish boy of fifteen who will inherit the estate. Cares deeply for his young master. Remains professional, but is willing to discipline him. Respectful, formal. Victorian England, the year is 1886. Kent. His young master shows no interest is courtship or marriage, which worries everyone, and is effeminate in his dandy pursuits. Has been employed there since Percival was a little lad. 62 years old.
