I wandered around for a bit, and was about to leave when…
““I wandered around for a bit, and was about to leave when your daughter entered—” “And then you gave her the punch?” Sir Geoffrey interrupted. “Punch? No sir, I certainly didn’t punch her!” “Then when…” Sir Geoffrey let the question die. “Please,” he said, waving his hand, “continue.” Max took a deep breath. “Your daughter and I chatted for some time and then we were interrupted by, I believe, your housekeeper. I must say she is a most amiable female.” “My housekeeper?” “No, your daughter. Although I’m sure your housekeeper is very pleasant.””
