Baron Roquefort

Mario, his servant

That morning, when Mario entered his master’s bedroom (1), he found Baron Roquefort sitting on the edge of his bed with a puzzled expression on his face.

Mario: Did Your Excellency call for me?

Baron: I did! I can’t seem to find my slippers… (2)

Mario: You are wearing them, Sir.

Baron: Oh? I am, indeed! I’m quite beside myself today. (3)

Mario: No wonder, Sir. (4) On such a day!

Baron: Is the baroness up yet? (5)

Mario: Yes, Sir. She is in her boudoir with Marion and Michelle.

Baron: Trying on her evening dress for the twentieth time, no doubt.

Mario: Women! They are all alike, Sir.

Baron: You can say that again! (6) Tell the Baroness that I shall join her in the dining room in half an hour.

Mario: Yes, Sir.
