So that's the real Grace. Wonder what she's feeling. Desperate to get out, or is it self-imposed?

I've seen those cutlery positions, but I've been taught a slightly different version. It is cultural, though.

To see if there's something wrong with the elasticity of the bed, you need to be of a similar height and weight. Generally, the heavier you are, the stiffer bed you should have.

I think Anna was just thinking about how many servants they had for the mansion, rather than the entire land. Less of a mansion, and more of a self-sufficient village, with surrounding farm lands and pastures.

Cheese and butter is a nobility luxury? That's different.

This is about the best examples of Japanese comedy regarding misunderstandings due to phrasing.
One thing that makes it work is that it's not used to support misunderstandings for the sake of drama, and there's little reason for them to not believe their own interpretations.

It feels like the original premise of the comedy (an ojii-san who's vaguely familiar with otome trying to cope and roleplay as the villainess while still having ojii-san office worker tendencies) has taken a backseat these last few chapters. I hope it picks up again.

Actually, it's not that different. Cheese and butter are luxuries for the nobility because it involves taking milk and then processing it for a long time, and/or with a lot of labour dedicated to it, instead of self-sufficient activities supported by the drinking of said milk by the family owning the cow, instead. It wasn't rare, but it was uncommon enough that it wasn't likely to be seen except by the upper classes. They also would be hard salted cheeses, prepared more for preservation than for taste; shepherds of large flocks would be the only other people with plenty of cheese, and it'd mostly be soft cheeses made and consumed within just a few days, if not daily. It was primarily through the breakdown of the Roman Empire leaving many cultural traditions alive but supported with their technology and innovations that we have the diverse array of cheeses we have today, in fact; the many monks' temples spread across the former empire provided excellent places for cheese and brewing culture (for both beer and harder spirits like wine) both to expand voluminously.

Cheese and butter have been the industry of monasteries and women. They were considered luxuries in that if you managed your surplus correctly, you could sell it for money. You and your family might eat a bit but it was just more profitable to sell it.

In the middle ages, post Roman empire Europe largely considered cheese and butter "peasant fare". While it is true that cheese and butter take a long time to process, often the women on the farm processed it for a variety of reasons i.e so food for the winter, surplus milk, managing milk (Like if you had surplus milk, you would turn it into soft cheese so you had a meal and it didn't go to waste)" Dairy farms and dairy maids were an occupation itself.

It was around the 1500s and 1600s that foreign cheeses start becoming expensive and seen as an import product especially in England. The nobility start consuming cheese publicly around then. Butter also becomes more popular in consumption amongst nobility because of Lent

Around the Victorian era, industrialization resulted in cheese and butter factories. The contemporary literature has characters claiming that homemade is best and that factory can't compare to homemade.
