The Librivox audiobook looks like the first volume of the five-volume abridged edition which was later further abridged into the one-volume edition I read—anyway, it doesn't seem to cover the later years of the diary. (Actually, that edition was published 1924-31—so I suspect the later volumes aren't in the public domain yet, or weren't when this was recorded). But how charming that someone has recorded an audiobook, anyway! I can imagine it would make for pleasant listening with a good reader.
I don't think the servants usually eat with him at home, no—although all classes apparently eat together when travelling.
Yes, that's quite possible! It must have been slightly strange still having that first name years after the Jacobites faded from prominence—Woodforde only ever calls her 'Sister Clarke' (her married surname).
