Occupied with watching his favourite film — even if he never thought that he would love The Help — Richard couldn't help but jump when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Quickly, he paused his film and answered the call.

"Richard Jones, Mississippi, speaking. What can I do for you?"

"Richard? It's Alfred!"

"Dad?" Richard asked nervously. "Why are you calling me?"

"I have something to ask of you," the country of freedom started. "The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Arthur are coming over to the White House for business dealings, and for the last time, Arthur has convinced Henry to act as his butler."

"How did he convince Henry to do that?"

"I have no idea, and I don't give a damn. Because of the damn English, the President asked me to convince one of my states to do the same. . . "

"Oh. . . ," the southern state sighed. "You surely wouldn't ask any of the female States to act as a maid, would you. . . "

"If I did that, they'd think that I was sexist."

"The desperadas in our family are, of course, excluded," he continued. "That leaves us with Blake, Adlar and me. We can forget about Adlar, he's too shy. Have you asked Blake, yet?"

"You want to be served by a guy who's twice the size of you?" Alfred said with amusement.

"No," he coldly admitted. "He's a handsome gentleman, though his height can be considered a handicap, in this situation. Which leaves you with me. What a convenient situation. Sorry dad, I refuse to become part of the worker class."

"I'll give you 20 bucks if you do it."

A silence settled between the two Americans.

"When did you say Kirkland and Cameron were coming?"
