* Thomas' ''complete failure'' to use Robert's beloved dog Isis to get promoted to Robert's valet: After hiding Isis in a shed in the forest, the opportunity to present himself heroically as her finder is ruined by his not getting a chance to go back for her alone, and when he has the chance, the shed is open and the dog is gone. Cue Thomas frantically searching the forest, terrified of being made responsible for her disappearance or even death. By the time he returns to the estate, he is a mess and can only be grateful and relieved to find Isis back with Robert -- a few school kids had broken her out of the shed and even collected the reward Robert had set out for Isis.
