dignity: the Butler must have the ability not to betray the essence of profession. A few number of housekeepers will betray their professional nature for their own private affairs
old Stevens is the one who will not betray his profession even though the person that is in front of him is the one who he hate the most. Also, he donate the money that the general give it to him to the charity.
The story that the butler who kill the tiger also have dignity since there is a tiger under the dining table is not a small thing, and the butler did not escape because his own fear. He killed the tiger clam and tidy up the dining room in a short time
