Burglars

Well it's been a very busy week!  The other night, feeling that I needed a light snack, whilst my Servants were asleep, I made my way into the kitchen only to find we'd had burglars. A great big burly Roast Potato and a viscious Roast Parsnip were both lurking by the kitchen window. There was no time to call the staff so I had to handle the situation myself single-handedly and after a long and tireing battle, managed to overcome them both and leave them for dead on the floor. You can just imagine the Servants sense of wonderment when they discovered them first thing the following morning although I must admit they were a little shame-faced that they hadn't heard them breaking in and dealt with them themselves.

All things considered, the Servants are not working out too badly although I think I have rather exhausted the Footman as he appears to have pulled a muscle in his back and has taken to his bed with much moaning and groaning in the night. It would appear that on several nights this pain was so intense (remember he IS a man after all) that it woke him up at 2.30 in the morning and he was unable to return to his slumbers. The Woman Servant, being the caring person she has proved to be, was up in a trice, made him a cup of tea, hot water bottle and was bending over him mopping his  fevered brow when I wandered in demanding a snack and of course a brushing in front of the fire which I had to insist was lit for me.


Last week the Man Servant got up at 04.30 to take someone to Birmingham as part of his duties, and would you believe it, after I had been so rudely awakened by him he neglected to inquire whether I required sustinance and a brushing and I had to leave my bedchamber and go to the kitchen to order some very early morning refreshment.

It's really not good enough !!
