Four hundred and eight. Two housekeepers (three watches)

"Steward Videlio, there's someone out there asking to see you."

"Are those nasty people again?" Videlio looked very dissatisfied: "Since the news of the baron's imminent return, these annoying people have been constantly disturbing the manor, is it so difficult to find educated people in Germany now?" ”

Joseph said cautiously, "Butler, you better go and see him, he said you must see him, he is Depsie, the butler of the Countess of Leonie, and he has now entered the manor." ”

"Ah, it's Depsie, he's a good butler." Videlio heard the name "Depsie" and was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "I haven't heard the name of Countess Leonie for many years, well, let me change my clothes and go to see him, as the baron's butler, I can't be ashamed in front of the count's butler"

But when the steward Videlio changed his clothes and came to the manor, he was very angry.

Steward Videlio was really angry.

The Countess's butler, Depsie, was there pointing fingers at the manor, constantly finding fault with the estate.

"Why is that tree planted here? This ruined the mood of the whole manor, and immediately dug it up to the sky, who picked the flowers? As long as the illiterate rednecks would do that, what are you doing there? Are you a cook? God, is it possible that the cook can run around at will, in the baron's place? A baron is a baron, and even his servants are so ignorant of the rules, and I command you to return to your kitchen at once and you, the tailor. What are you doing? Flirting with a maid? God, look what Videlio has done."

"Steward Depsie, I don't think the Baron's Manor is in any way inferior to the Earl's Manor. Moreover, the servants of the baron's family are far more educated than the servants of the count's family, because they are all trained by me. Butler Videlio angrily interrupted Steward Depsie's pickiness.

"Ah, Steward Videlio, we haven't seen each other in years." Depsie finally closed his chatter: "Look at you, you're so old. Can you still dance? ”

Steward Videlio sneered, "Of course I can still dance, and I can still serve Baron Alexon for at least thirty years." What about you? Decade? Five years? Or is it three years? Ah, I'll allow you to pick a cemetery outside the Baron's Manor. Of course, you don't have to inform me on the day of your burial."

"Baron" Depsie was not angry, but also snorted very disdainfully: "I just said, a baron is a baron." It's not the same as the earl, look at their servants. Look at their housekeepers, rude and rude, you have lost the face of the German nobles."

The two butlers seemed to be mortal enemies, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, but now when they met, they quarreled.

Joseph was not qualified to attend to the affairs of the two butlers, and when he saw that there was a young man about his own age who had come with Depsie, he stretched out his hand. Quietly tunneled; "Hello, I'm Joseph. Do you see if we talk in English or German? ”

"Ah, all right, I'm Elliot." Elliot shook his hand, and the two young men came to the other side, and Elliot pointed to the butler who was still arguing: "What's wrong with them?" ”

"I've heard that they've been standing up to each other for many years, and I've heard it from Steward Videlio by accident." Joseph is obviously more knowledgeable than the other party: "It is said that the steward of Depsie has always considered the status of the earl to be far higher than that of the baron, so he thinks that the Baron of Alexon and the Countess of Leonie are high together. So when he was in Germany before, he always ignored Videlio's butler, and as a result, the two had a conflict. ”

Elliot almost laughed, two people of a handful of age, and they still hold such a grudge.

"What about you, Eliot, how did you get to Germany? The Countess has been missing for so many years, is she okay? ”

"Ah, very good, thank you for your concern." Elliot nodded: "The Countess has always been in the United States, and she misses Germany very much, so she sent Steward Depsie back to have a look." It's not an easy road. As soon as we arrived in Berlin, we heard that Baron Alecson had returned, and after consulting the Countess, the Countess asked the Steward Depsie to see if her estate was still there, but unfortunately it was no longer there."

Joseph knew about this. A few years after the Countess left Germany, her estate was expropriated.

"The Countess wants to come back at the right time, so she has to find a place to stay." Elliot whispered, "What better place to do it than the Baron's Manor?" ”

"What, you're going to requisition two-thirds of this place?"

At this moment, Steward Videlio interrupted the conversation between the two young men with an angry shout.

I saw Butler Videlio waving his hands: "You are crazy, Steward Depsie!" You're going to expropriate two-thirds of the Baron's estate? You actually used the word requisition? Who do you think you are? His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm? Or Adolf. Hitler? ”

"Adolf. When Hitler came to the Earl's Manor, he was a poor child. Depsie didn't pay attention to the head of the empire at all: "Steward Videlio, this is the butler of an earl's family giving you orders, and you should feel honored." God, if it were the emperor's time, do you think I would be willing to set foot in such a small manor? It's not as big as one of our kitchens. Oh my God, what's going on now? A baron's butler is so arrogant? God, forgive this poor man, he has not seen anyone from the Count's house for a long time Steward Videlio, do you know that the Countess may return this year, don't you feel honored to live here? ”

Hearing the words of the countess, Steward Videlio barely held back his anger that was about to erupt: "Steward Depsie, if the Countess is going to come to stay, then I can arrange for three empty rooms to come out and try my best to arrange them, but two-thirds of the manor?" Unless you're crazy, or I'm crazy."

The two butlers began to quarrel violently again. The two young men, Joseph and Eliot, could only look at each other

"Steward Videlio, there's an SS colonel outside who wants to see you."

This report finally interrupted the quarrel between the two butlers, and the Videlio butler, who was in a bad mood, frowned: "SS colonel? What is he doing here? Let him in. ”

As soon as the SS colonel entered, he respectfully saluted Videlio's butler: "Mr. Videlio, I have the honour to inform you that the Führer will arrive in fifteen minutes. ”

"The corporal?" Depsie pouted.

"The corporal." The rare Videlio was on the same page as his opponent on one matter

Reich Führer Adolf. When Hitler came in, he behaved very low-key: "Hello, Steward Videlio, I am"

After he said this, his eyes suddenly fell on Depsie, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, I know you, you are the butler of the countess's house."

Depsie nodded arrogantly, the SS colonel next to Hitler was surprised, God, who is this person, who actually has such an attitude towards the Führer?

He didn't know what he was doing, whether it was Depsie or Videlio, but he never looked at the head of the empire

This is especially true of Depsie. As he said, when the Countess swept Europe with her charm, Adolf. Hitler was nothing more than a follower of Ernst. Behind Bram was the corporal who had a chance to enter the Earl's manor.

"Hello, Steward Depsie, how is the Countess?" Adolph. Hitler asked very carefully.

"She's fine."

"Well, then, you can get the Countess back to Germany, and tell her that Baron Alexson is coming back soon. Ah, I should really think about whether Germany wants to restore the aristocracy. "Adolf. After Hitler finished speaking, he turned his head to Videlio again: "Steward Videlio, can I go to the baron's room and sit for a while as before?" ”

"Please, Mr. Adolf." Videlio stepped out of his way.

"What's wrong with him?" When Hitler left, Depsie couldn't help but ask.

"I'm used to it." Videlio sighed: "Since the Baron's disappearance, Adolf has come to the manor every month, and sat alone in the Baron's room for half an hour, and no one was allowed to disturb him, even when he became the head of the Empire. ”

Depsie quickly understood.

Actually, who doesn't want to miss a baron? Even myself.

Of course, as the butler of the earl's family, he can't show any affection for a baron

About half an hour later, Adolf. Hitler came out again, and he regained a lot of magic: "Ah, I just heard that you were arguing about the affairs of the manor? I don't think it's a big deal, I can double the size of the estate again, and that won't be the solution? Steward Videlio, I've told you this advice many times. ”

Butler Videlio said coldly, "I reject you again, Führer. With the exception of His Majesty the Emperor and the Baron himself, the manor could not be enlarged or contracted for no reason. ”

"Then wait for the Baron to come back." Hitler didn't care about the attitude of the other party at all, but smiled and said, "The baron is coming back soon." ”

Yes, Baron, it's coming back! (To be continued.) )
