Subject: My knickers

Could you reach out to Jeeves about the laundry service? He refuses to believe I’m staying with you.

Also, stop eating my eclairs when you swoop in.

Subject: Who is Jeeves?

Jean-Pierre might be amenable to your requests if you stop calling him Jeeves. Where did you come up with such a name?

If you didn’t hoard pastries like a cult member waiting for doomsday, I’d have nothing to steal.

Subject: Ask Jeeves…duh!

Your fancy hotel butler manages the suite. Jeeves is the cartoon butler from Ask Jeeves. He answers questions. You tell me to ask your butler whenever I need help.

Ask Jeeves.

If you assist with laundering my knickers, I’ll overlook your theft.

I bet you’re laughing at that attempt at a joke, huh? Fun fact: You’re in Paris. No one says “knickers.”

Hard to steal what’s in our kitchen. Tell you what, I’ll replace your coveted eclairs with English pastries.

I had one giggle, for your information. Don’t the English say “knickers”? Pardon me for trying to fit in with my new roomie.

Subject: Let me know when you find it

In case you didn’t notice, love, I lack both the proper English accent and their humor. Blame it on boarding school.

I’ll send a message to Jean-Pierre. Your panties are safe with me, Puff.

Enjoy your day,
