I must be thick! My dictionary gives bondmaid but bondsman. Where does age come in with Roger Moore who I remember well?

[bulliver]

a bondman is a slave or servant

age has no relevance as the answer is Bondman

Collins only has "bondsman". Thanks for the assurance that an alternative spelling is bondman! Now I can enjoy my post prandial nap with untroubled dreams while my dear wife does the ironing - my bondsmaid!
