4. Paris.

[seeyaduke]

You know, I've always had a fondness for Paris, I love it there. I suggest that you see as many things as you can and eat in cafes. The cafes always have the best coffee.

[Fake!Fail! Private! to Bertie.]
Bertie, darling, I think we should stay at the Mandarin Oriental Paris on the Rue Saint-Honoré. Suites, I think. And cars with drivers.

I could do with a bit of shopping.

[Private to Rex]
What are the chances that there will be a lab like my delightful husband had?

Unless it's been shut down after his unexpected demise... I'd say quite high.

I'd also say that you may have to wear a disguise while we're here.

Planning on it, Rex, the Mandarin has excellent staff that will come to my room. And I've already put my contacts in.

Blond and contacts; it worked once.

Good. [Pauuuuse] I wonder if I can get the president on the line.

Can always try it. Hmm. If McCullen is still alive somehow, it might be worth attempting to contact him as well.

Mandarin Oriental...I don't think I know that one. It must be new. [New for Bertie means built after 1928...] But never let it be said that Bertram Wooster is not adventuresome and willing to try new things.

I usually prefer to drive myself, but the bally French drive on the wrong side of the road, so I suppose I'd best leave it to a professional.

So let's check in and then do a spot of shopping, what?

I think I want to get my hair done. I miss being a blond.

That sort of thing is done at a salon, yes? [The world of hair (beyond a simple trim and pomade) and cosmetics is mysterious to Bertie.]

They'll come to me and do it, Bertie. So much less tacky than doing it at a salon.

The joy of having money in Paris.

That's jolly good of them. I don't think I've ever had a barber come to me. It's like that Muhammad and mountain whatsits.

Could always have one come for you too. Shave, hair cut, mani, peti.

[Private]

[what_ho_jeeves]

A proper hair cut and shave would be just the thing. Although I don't believe I've ever heard of a mani before, nor a peti.

Trust me, darling, once you've had one you'll wonder how you lived without it.

[Private]

[what_ho_jeeves]

Oh. Then I shall trust your most excellent judgement.

Good man, Bertie. Good man.
