Mr. Badger And the Difficult Duchess (2011)
“‘Mr Badger, sir,’ said a trembling voice. ‘It’s Robert in reception. We have a guest, the Duchess de la Dodo, and she insists on taking the Royal Suite.’ ‘I don’t recall seeing a duchess in my diary,’ said Mr Badger, looking at Miss Pims, who in turn peered at the open page with ‘today’ at the top.
‘According to this there is definitely no duchess due today,’ said Miss Pims, nodding her head and raising her eyebrows.
Now, the Royal Suite was always kept ready in case a foreign monarch came to s...tay while on an official visit to London.
Occasionally, too, if local royalty dropped in for a late-night supper, Mr Badger would make arrangements for them to stay overnight in the Royal Suite – rather than have them go all the way back to the palace and troubling the guards with unlocking and locking innumerable gates and doors.
That meant, of course, that the lucky prince or princess would then be free to relax, have a bubble bath and enjoy a famous Boubles Grand Hotel hot chocolate before turning in.MoreLess
