The little scamp, always so beligerant after his 6th brandy. And speaking of consumables, I spoke to that charming Latvian Countess (you remember - the one with the extrodinary wig), and she found your impromptu pineapple sculptures of the royal family most diverting. As for Mr Pettigrew, I fear he has not endeared himself to Cockfoster, who (I am ashamed to say) sought his revenge by serving a rather inferior marmelade with breakfast, and tampering with the unfortunate Mr Pettigrew's umbrella. Even the finest servants can be a little tempremental, when provoked.

And that wily Cockfoster - I thought I heard Lady Marmelade complaining about something to Lord Horseradish, but I simply assumed her nephew, Bertie Worcestershire, was in town!
