L49-3: The ideal servant
No only was the meal well below the usual standard,
but Bessie seemed unable to walk steadily.
She bumped into the furniture and kept mumbling about the guests.
When she came in with the last course -- a huge pudding -- she tripped on the carpet and the pudding went flying through the air,
narrowly missed my aunt, and crashed on the dining table with considerable force.
Though this caused great mirth among the guests,
Aunt Harriet was horrified.
She reluctantly came to the conclusion that Bessie was drunk.
The guests had, of course, realized this from the moment Bessie opened the door for them and,
long before the final catastrophe,
had had a difficult time trying to conceal their amusement.
The poor girl was dismissed instantly.
After her departure,
Aunt Harriet discovered that there were piles of empty wine bottles of all shapes and sizes neatly stacked in what had once been Bessie's wardrobe.
They had mysteriously found their way there from the wine cellar!
