Queen means business!

It was inevitable that Mr. B would phone again! So they switched the mobile off and continued their walk in the garden.
"We need to discuss the blitz on Strasbourg" said the Queen.
"Strasbourg?" asked the Press Secretary furrowing his brows. He deadheaded a petunia absentmindedly and then with a lurch through his diaphragm, he suddenly remembered! They were planning a blitz on the European Parliament, Mr. B and the ousted Royals in protest against irregularities in the recent Italian elections and the NERD referendum. Summer was over, autumn beckoned with new initiatives. This would need careful handling.
"It involves climbing, you know" said the Press Secretary. "Mr. B. wants to climb down from the visitors gallery!"
"Oh, well I have an arthritic hip so maybe we need to rethink this" she said.
"Hip hop" . They turned aound a little startled- it was PC jumping out from behind a lavendar bush!
"Maybe we should try to have less to do with Mr. B - you know he is very friendly with 'Call me Tony'. In addition he is merely leader of the opposition. We should be homing in on Prodi- he does hold the reins"
"Giddy up" said PC who was following them around the garden.
"Maybe you are right" said the Queen as they entered the castle kitchens downstairs.
"Let's have a really good coffee- have you seen the sample of the cushions I have ordered for our e store?" said the Press Secretary laughing.
"Delightful-no home should be without one!" laughed the Queen. "This estore business is going to be much more successful than the firm ever was!"
