A rare image of Hargreaves, Sir & Miss Davenport getting along.
“Good morning, Miss Davenport.”
“And what a good morning it is, Hargreaves.”
“You’ve been—er—busy, I see.”
“No rest for the dead. Oh, do shut up, Sir. I know it’s wicked. I was being literal.”
“You’re getting quite a dab hand at #obfuscating. I’m impressed.”

“Hugs,kisses,and spoonfuls of love.”

“Lashing it down? Don’t be such a drama queen. It makes you look fat. It’s only a bit of a #drizzle. Poor Hargreaves—doesn’t like the rainy rain.”
