Lady Margaret’s longtime cook walked into the kitchen looking nervous.
“Madam,” she said politely, “I’d like to take a month’s leave to visit my family.”
Lady Margaret nearly dropped her teacup.
“A month? But who will cook for us?”
The cook smiled. “I’m sure Sir Henry can help.”
Lady Margaret gasped. “Good heavens, woman! I’m asking who will cook—not who will burn the house down!”
Just then Sir Henry walked in and proudly announced,
“Don’t worry, darling. I watched three cooking videos this morning.”
Lady Margaret turned pale.
“Oh dear…”
“What happened?” Sir Henry asked.
She sighed and replied,
“I’ve just realized we’ll need a second month’s leave… for the fire brigade to recover.” 😂🍳🚒
