[MaC] Richard at the Party

"Ah, well I'm not the landlord you see."  Hodges replied with a twinkle in
his eye.  "Just the repairman.  But its rude to refuse such a gift.  Happy
Christmas, sir."


"I'd rather have a happy repairman," winked Richard. "After all, I have a
lease with the landlord, but not with you. It's important for even a Lord to
remember who actually gets things done." He held up his glass. "Happy
Christmas to you as well. You should come to one of my shin-digs... where
you don't have to serve."
