I suppose I'll have to look after His Lordship now,
-
on top of everything else.
-
And I don't want any jokes
-
about broomsticks and sweeping the floor.
-
His Lordship's got his regimental dinner in Richmond tonight.
-
That means he'll be in the full fig.
-
You'll manage.
-
You know, when Mr Bates first came to this house,
-
I thought he could never do the work.
-
But now I can't imagine the place without him.
-
Did you see this coming? Because I didn't.
-
I have a confession.
