"Thank you, Madam," she said again. The polite people of England are eternally thanking you for nothing. She walked towards the door, and, her hand resting on the knob, said, "If you'll just leave your suit on the wardrobe, I'll press it when I can, Madam."
"Why, thank you, Elsie."
"Thank you Madam," she said, and went out.
