is there somewhere i can get a decent cup of tea

i find myself missing at least a few of my daily routines already

and i don't intend on giving up too much of the life i am accustomed to.

less want and more that i cannot. my butler handled making the tea.

[And meals. And everything else.]

i am only given a biweekly stipend but i would not say no.

You can always learn.
How about this. Make me your last resort when you really need tea and all else fails?

how pedestrian.
i suppose that will be acceptable.

I'm doing this for you.[And money.]

Be nice.

learning to make my own tea? yes, i suppose i may have no choice but to do so but it remains pedestrian.

[What is 'nice?' Is it sweet?]

Why pedestrian?

why not unless you prefer i simply call it dull instead but i do try to keep a better vocabulary than the masses.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

i know precisely what it means.

If you say so.

pedestrian, lacking inspiration or excitement. dull. or a person walking along a road. clearly the former is applicable here.

[Taste his sass.]

If you say so.

my, you are a pest.

At least I'm not rude.

you can hardly expect everyone to be nice at all times.

Yes but are you ever nice?

to my fiancee but otherwise, no. or at least very rarely. my profession does not allow for kindness.

What profession is that? Being a royal pain in the butt?

watchdog to queen victoria. what ails her, endangers her, displeases her, i eliminate.

Do you talk like this to the queen? If so you should be nicer to a princess.

i owe no allegiance to anyone but victoria, i hardly see why i should be nicer.

Whatever.

my, have i hit a nerve or simply a spot of bad luck.
