That morning, when Mario entered his master’s bedroom (1), he found Baron Roquefort sitting on the edge of his bed with a puzzled expression on his face.
Mario: Did Your Excellency call for me?
Baron: I did! I can’t seem to find my slippers… (2)
Mario: You are wearing them, Sir.
Baron: Oh? I am, indeed! I’m quite beside myself today. (3)
Mario: No wonder, Sir. (4) On such a day!
Baron: Is the baroness up yet? (5)
Mario: Yes, Sir. She is in her boudoir with Marion and Michelle.
Baron: Trying on her evening dress for the twentieth time, no doubt.
Mario: Women! They are all alike, Sir.
Baron: You can say that again! (6) Tell the Baroness that I shall join her in the dining room in half an hour.
Mario: Yes, Sir.
