“Early shopping, Mr. Jeeves?” The white-aproned woman smiled as she set the fresh pastries into their display shelf.
“A larger than expected breakfast.” Reginald Jeeves returned the greeting. His free hand pointed out two of the frosted sweet rolls. “Mr. Wooster attended the theatre last night and… Miss Merritt is quite the charming ingénue.”
The baker’s hand went to her own mouth. “You don’t say.”
“Of course not.” Jeeves made his back as stiff as his voice. “I would never carry tales about my employer.”
Nodding her approbation. The woman went back to wrapping her pastries. “Quite proper, Mr. Jeeves.”
