John serves as one of Albert's servants, a fifteen-year-old English groom whose inability to speak French marks him as distinct from the household's other staff. His youth and foreignness highlight the cosmopolitan nature of Albert's world, where even servants reflect the international connections of the wealthy.
Description
A fifteen-year-old boy with the youthful features of adolescence not yet fully matured into manhood. His English origins are apparent in his features and bearing, and he wears the simple clothing appropriate to a groom and stable hand. His appearance suggests both the vigor of youth and the early responsibility that comes with service in a wealthy household.
