you rang, miss?
of course i rang, partridge. why else would you be here?
shall i have the window opened?
why not? i recall that it is a lovely day.
all the best people are going to the circus today.
bosh! it is much too nice a day to sit inside a stuffy old tent spreading germs.
every day is different from the one before.
that is great news for the faint of heart.
(pause) a maid enters the room and opens the window and draws the curtains back, letting in the sunshine.
i remember now why i summoned you - greta is arriving at noon today.
i will have a box of her favorite chocolates placed her in her room.
that is all very well but something is amiss with poor greta.
i never would have suspected that.
stern measures will have to be taken.
the rain fell very softly last night, if i recall.
i see you remember the password.
i remember everything - it is my job,
i hear the patter of feet.
the queen had trouble sleeping last night.
you will have your little joke, partridge
nothing lasts forever.
i assume you are referring to the results of the beastly last election.
the opposition scored a resounding victory.
a new king needs a new crown.
i understand only too well - did you enter the lottery for the new throne?
i did indeed - but, alas, i was not successful.
ah, that is unfortunate. i could use a friend at court.
