an arrival on the 2nd and departure on the 9th, the extent of time free of Prussian obligations in Europe.Today or tomorrow there should be word on how the Countess is holding the line against AML. Lab reports will come late today her time, will reach the Page only tomorrow his time.
By the end of the week, the Page plans to make all necessary reservations.
Meanwhile, the Countess is enjoying visits from other family members and friends, bestowing warmth and cheer on them all, even when this may at times prove hard for them to take.
She particularly enjoys speaking with the Page's parrot during their daily telephone calls - perhaps the only transatlantic parrot-Countess conversation on record.
Otherwise, the Lady-in-Waiting is said to miss the Page's talent for dish-washing and carpet-vacuuming, resorting to letting Countess sisters take over these tasks when they call on Court.
This must remain without comment.
The Lady-in-Waiting does indeed miss the ministrations of the Page. No one has proved to have dishwashing and trash-carrying capabilities to equal his; nor does the L-i-W feel that even her laundering skills quite ascend to the levels he achieved during his time in the service of the Countess. Indeed, the ladies of the Court find themselves atwitter, asking after him nearly daily in their visits to the Countess. "Has he called?" "How is he doing?" "When will he be back?" I think they must all be enchanted.
ReplyDeleteFor a lone L-i-W, it can be quite frustrating.
Return soon!
Lady-in-Waiting
To obviate frustration for the Lady-in-Waiting, the Page here wishes to reiterate his hightest praise for the unrelenting service she is rendering the Countess in these difficult day on Chicora Court. Chicks set atwitter are truly hard to control, and while the Page appreciates their fond remarks, the L-i-W might perforce need remind them of the quality of her own services. Tell'em the Page said so!
