At first I shared a bedroom there, which I wasn't too keen on as I'd had my own before. Once when Cook was away it was my job to receive the menus from the Lady, and we got chatting and I mentioned I didn't like having to share a room. They found a bedroom for me and had it decorated! Cook was a bit put out when she got back. Also while she was away the King of Greece had been entertained, and we had managed all the cooking without her! But I used to get on well with Cook.
