Queen Asks About Mr.B
"I know all about it - that Caravaggio was probably worth only half that estimate of $100 million!" the Queen said a little petulantly. She picked up the Daily Mail and noted with great pleasure that Cherie Blair (of Lady Macbeth fame) had had a go at journalists in general, accusing them of having no moral principles.
"Just sour grapes after the Cheriegate affair" she sniffed.
"And she never learnt to curtsy properly!" she said angrily.
Storm clouds were gathering so the Press Secretary placed a copy of the Italian paper 'Corriere Della Sera' in front of the Queen. She was quite alarmed to see Mr. B. being carried off the stage after he had fainted at a meeting on Sunday.
"Just overdoing it - you know he is a superman, claiming to be a mere 25 when he is only 70. But two to three hours sleep a night does take its toll".
"But all the super secret vitamins, potions, elixirs he has been taking?" the Queen asked.
"But he has had too many sour grapes after his defeat in the elections. Those probably tipped the balance", the Press Secretary laughed.
"It's so funny -look at this photo- you can see him being carried out feet first - even the soles and heels of the shoes are shown close up but not from a side view so no one knows whether he has raised heels. That mystery has tantalized the Italian nation for the last two decades!"
They all laughed and then decided the lunch menu. A light terrine with prosciutto and cheese filling with diced vegetables, followed by an omelette with mushrooms and shrimps. The Press Secretary promised to make them a lemon and lime curd souffle' for dessert.
