Day Thirty
There is a staff of twenty-five, I've learned. Lumiere said that there had been three maids, a chef, and then Mrs. Potts as more of a female butler. There are also five handymen, whom would take care of lighting, lawn, and the castle as a whole. It was unclear who the other five were. Something about wardrobe, I think. Clogsworth seems like a planning assistant or an accountant, but that would imply the Beast had plans to make or money to handle.
Lumiere used the word handymen. Either the French language is more limiting than I thought, or he was referring to the enchanted furniture as men. At this point it would make sense to think they were human before, due to their activities and positions. Beast I am less sure of. It's not like he's an object. He is just an animal. Quite intelligent an animal but still an animal, no less. Maybe his parents are just as intelligent, whatever animal he is has the ability to make the world theirs just as humans have. We're on the same level. Although, I'm sure the Church wouldn't see it that way.
