[12] Audio | Private to Ana (Bertie has figured this out because it's like making a phone call)

[helpmejeeves]

How do you do, Lady DeCobray. [A little more formal than usual to start out with, because Ana is a member of the peerage and a stranger.]Since the Professor biffed off to parts unknown, it seems that the Admiral decided that it simply wouldn't do to have me at loose ends for too long. He's assigned me to be your warden. Would you mind terribly

Private.

[seeyaduke]

I prefer not to be called that, actually, darling. Ana or the Baroness. I don't like to use my husband's name.

Come over whenever you like.

Private.

[helpmejeeves]

Oh, so sorry, Ana. I wondered whether I should take the formal approach or not and thought "better safe than sorry" because I know some beazels that get quite pipped if not addressed by their proper title.

I'm Bertie Wooster, but you can call me Bertie. I'll be right down. [clicks off. after about ten seconds clicks on again]

I say, what cabin are you staying in?

Private.

[seeyaduke]

Bertie Wooster, my goodness, I am fortunate.

You can find me on level one, room eleven.

Private.

[helpmejeeves]

You've heard of me, then! [His voice is bright and excited. It doesn't occur to him that Ana's words might not, in fact, be a compliment on his wardening abilities.]

I'll pop right up.
