The very snobbish wife was discussing
the subject of Christmas presents with her maid.
"Now what about the
butler?" the rich woman said.
"A set of wine glasses?"
the maid suggested.
The woman frowned icily. "He
doesn't really need that. A butler never entertains. He'll get a
tie."
The maid grimaced, but said only,
"What about a dress for Jenny, the serving girl?"
The woman frowned again. "She
doesn't really need a new dress. She'll only get in trouble. We'll get
her another apron."
The conversation continued in the
same vein, and the maid was chafing At her employer's arrogance when
they reached her husband.
"I assume you want to get him
something he really needs, madam?" the maid replied.
"Of course," the woman
replied.
"Then what about three more
inches?" said the maid. |
