A young waiter came into... «Pied Piper»
HighlandMary18 февраля 2026A young waiter came into the room, carrying a torch and with a tin hat in his hand. He said: The shelter is in the basement, through the buttery door, sir.' Howard said: 'Do we have to go there?' 'Not unless you wish to.' I said: 'Are you going down there, Andrews?' 'No, sir. I'm on duty, in case of incendiary bombs, and that.' 'Well,' I said, 'get on and do whatever you've got to do. Then, when you've got a minute to spare, bring me a glass of Marsala. But go and do your job first.' Howard said: 'I think that's a very good idea. You can bring me a glass of Marsala, too - between the incendiary bombs. You'll find me sitting here.' 'Very good, sir.'
