"What ho!" I exclaimed in a falsely cheerful tone and turned around. "Kati!"
The maid dipped her head. "Master Wooster."
"But what are you doing here, Kati?"
"Mrs. Gregson offered me a position as a lady's maid, sir."
I beamed. Kati had been an ally of sorts in the Wooster household. "Kati, I promise I'm doing this on orders. If you leave immediately and make for the kitchen you'll have an alibi."
Kati dipped her head. "Yes, sir." she turned to the door. "I would recommend smashing the window with that vase over there to make it look like a burglary." she said, turning back for a moment.
Kati knew her stuff, I could see that. I did as instructed and snuck out the door before anyone was the wiser.
