A Study In Temperance (The Adventures Of Ichabod Temperance Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
I can sees the new Missus and her little American beau is gonna be troubles. They should have been here at Plumtartt Manor hours ago. How are we to keep everything fresh and not all wilty if Old Lady Plumtartt is not going to conform to a proper schedule? I’ll takes a load off and enjoy a well earned tobacco break upon this servants’ entrance outdoor landing. Let that pissy butler get all upset about failing dandelions in the west wing’s upstairs petite salon, or fluffing the cushions of the couches in the Eastern grand billiard room, or refilling the kerosene in the cabinet room. I mean the cabinet room of the third floor, northern annex, not one of the other thirteen cabinet rooms. Of course, none of these bloody levels are built at the same height. A nice architectural joke upon us, the poor servants who have to make this household function, it is. It’s as if three or four colossal continental cathedrals were broken into huge chunks, dumped into a gigantic butterchurn, mixed up thoroughly, and then poured out into a gynormous mold in the shape of a huge capital ‘E’; only the bits at the top and bottom have been nipped off leaving the little bit in the middle to represent the Northern Annex, what was added after Norman’s conquest, whoever he was.
