Heavenletter #5999 - for tomorrow...

Posted April 27th, 2017 by Anais

What does 'to the manor born' mean? It seams to make reference to an old sitcom but I don't understand the context and the paragraph altogether.

Thanks for your help. It's for my French translation!

Thank you Gloria for answering me.
I know you have a lot to do already so please don't worry as it's my entire responsability, for I have translated this Heavenletter at the last minute... I wish I was more efficient sometimes! But it was not a problem in the end. A lot of answers can be found on the internet, and it usually helps a lot.
Best thoughts,
Anaïs
