Leesa “Busy” Oliver stayed home from her job today to toil on a massive project here at New Bellevue House that required the entire staff’s participation. Even Finial, my trusted valet, was unavailable to me, requiring that I shave and dress myself which was quite out of order, I dare say. Boxes, appliances, dry food stuffs and items various got moved from the cellar to the laundry and items in the laundry got switched to the pantry and shelves were deconstructed in one place and reconstituted in another. I’m informed that of course there is a grand design hereabouts, but the overall effect of the undertaking is I can no longer locate the packet of honey cashews on which I snack, a matter of interest to exactly nobody. I now reveal to you what I do in the face of such affronts.
