"I don't think that's a good idea. I'd have to change all the paperwork."

"Oh, come now. I don't really care for 'Dandelion.'"

"Have it your way, then. What do you want me to call you?"

"Not Butler."

quote:

"All right," she says, shaking her head slightly. "I suppose Not Butler will do. Very well."

"Now what exactly are we talking about? I'm terribly bewildered," you say, as Regina jots a few notes.

"Yes, I suppose you will need to be briefed, Not Butler. You are, I assume, quite familiar with the Cadbury Club."

"Of course. That's the club I'm a member of. The Cadbury Club for Those Who Serve. The most exclusive organization for servants in the world."

"Then surely you have heard of the Cadbury Club Inner Circle."

"Any polished servant has heard of that august society, although I don't have much hope of being admitted."
"Yes. Secret societies are not particularly of interest to me. I prefer to live a quieter, less complex life."
"Do you...have inside information about the Inner Circle? I'd like very much to hear - unless it is against the rules."
"I assume this is related to Valentine's testing of me for the Inner Circle."

How good do our stats have to be to not end a sentence with a preposition? Jeeves, I'm sure, would have phrased it, "the club of which I am a member."

In any case, let's blunder forward with related to Valentine?

"You...you just said someone named Valentine is testing you for the Inner Circle. That is untrue."

"It is. She said so."

"A lie. Valentine is an imposter, probably dangerous."

"I don't know if..."

"We don't have much time. I need to begin at the beginning, then. Although I am rather shaken up by news of a mole in our midst."

She sits taller in her seat. "Now, listen carefully. The Cadbury Club Inner Circle is for the most elite members, for those in service who have attained the peak of their position."

"Yes, so the new members say in hushed voices." You imagine what your peers would say, if they knew that you were being considered."

"You are being considered for admission into the Inner Circle, and you are being evaluated for your suitability."

"Yes. That is consistent with what Valentine told me."
"I understand perfectly."
"You may as well call off the test as a great waste of time, as I'm certain to be voted in."
"Me? I am hardly the right person for such an august society!"
"I wonder to what extent a small cash gift would help to influence my evaluator."

Or they're both from the Cadbury club and it's a simple administrative error that can be resolved through clear communication and honesty?

That is consistent...

And Valentine actually had a sealed letter of introduction. Though probably forgeable, that�s more than this nutter has shown us so far.

Calling this one early since this next choice is potentially a bit more significant and so deserves to have the vote open a bit longer.

quote:

She briefly sucks in air through her teeth and looks, for a moment, like an angry mongoose.

"This Valentine knows too much. Possibly we will need to eliminate her."

"You can't mean..."

"It would be a last resort. For now, you need to act naturally. Don't let Valentine know that you know. And for heaven's sake, keep your identity as Not Butler secret."

You hear the yowling of the hounds outside, and Aunt Primrose's booming voice crying out that all must assemble outside the front door at once on pain of her displeasure.

"Our time is limited," says Regina. "But you should know that there is a serious problem brewing, and I will need your help. I have reason to believe that there is an evildoer here at Ritornello who means to do Aunt Primrose some serious harm. It is not yet clear to me whether it is a foreign agent or some sort of maniacal saboteur."

"No!"

"I'm afraid so, Not Butler. I will need you to join me on a subtle and time-sensitive mission. You may be able to assist me; how you do so is up to you. You might find an excuse to leave the hunt and make your way back here, so that you can thoroughly search the guest rooms to look for compromising information. Or, if you prefer, you could remain with the hunt, and shrewdly interrogate the guests to discover if they have any malicious motives." She taps her chin. "It would also be rather useful to have a thorough investigation of this Valentine character. I am most concerned. I suppose if the opportunity comes up you might do that in addition to your primary objective."

What do you say?

"I will make my way back here and search the rooms."
"I will interrogate people."
"This is madness. I'm not helping you."
