gentleman's gentleman
Butler to one
A gentleman's gentleman is a valet—a manservant who attends to a wealthy man's personal needs: clothing, grooming, correspondence, and domestic affairs.
The phrase emphasizes that such a servant is himself refined and gentlemanly in manner, not merely a laborer.
Jeeves, in P.G.
Wodehouse's novels, is the archetypal gentleman's gentleman.
