VI High Life

Mr Sal­teena awoke next morn­ing in his small but pleas­ant room. It was done in green and white with Mo­na­grams on the toilit set. He had a tiny white bed with a green quilt and a pic­ture of the Nativaty and one of Wind­sor Castle on the walls. The sun was shin­ing over all these things as Mr Sal­teena opened his sleepy eyes. Just then there was rat tat on the door. Come in called Mr Sal­teena and in came Ed­ward Pro­curio bal­lan­cing a tray very clev­erly. He looked most el­eg­ant with his shiny black hair and pale yel­low face and half shut eyes. He smiled in a very mys­te­ari­ous and su­per­ier way as he placed the tray on Mr Sal­teenas poin­ted knees.

Your early bever­age he an­nounced and began to pull up the blinds still smil­ing to him­self.

Oh thankyou cried Mr Sal­teena feel­ing very towzld com­pared to this grand fel­low. Then to his great sup­prise Pro­curio began to open the ward­robe and look at Mr Sal­teenas suits mak­ing italian ex­clam­a­tions un­der his breath. Mr Sal­teena dare not say a word so he swollowed his tea and eat a Marie bis­cuit hast­illy. Presently Pro­curio ad­vanced to the bed with a bright blue serge suit. Will you wear this today sir he asked quietly.

Oh cer­tainly said Mr Sal­teena.

And a clean shirt would not come amiss said Pro­curio what about this pale blue and white stripe.

With pleashure replied Mr Sal­teena. So Pro­curio laid them out in neat ar­ray also a razer and brush for shav­ing. Then he opened a door say­ing This is the bath room shall I turn on hot or cold.

I dont mind said Mr Sal­teena feel­ing very hot and ig­nor­ant.

It is best for you to de­cide sir said Pro­curio firmly.

Well I will try cold said Mr Sal­teena feel­ing it was more manly to say that. Pro­curio bowed and beat a re­treat to the bath room. Then he re­turned and told Mr. Sal­teena that when he was washed he would find his break­fast in the sit­ting room. When Mr Sal­teena was dressed in his best blue suit and clean shirt he stroled into the sit­ting room where a gay ca­nary was singing fit to burst in the win­dow and a copple of doves coo­ing in a whicker cage. A cheery smell greeted him as Pro­curio glided in with some steam­ing cof­fie. Mr Sal­teena felt more at home and passed a few re­marks about the weather. Pro­curio smiled and un­covered some lovely kidnys on toast and as he did so bent and whispered in Mr Sal­teenas ear you could have come in in your dress­ing gown.

Mr Sal­teena gave a start. Oh can I he said ten thou­sand thanks.

Then Pro­curio passed out and Mr Sal­teena finnished his kid­neys and chiruped to the birds and had a ci­gar­ette from a hand­some purple box which he found on the desk. Then Pro­curio entered once more and with a bow said. His lord­ship is go­ing to a levie this morn­ing and thinks it might amuse you to go too.
