"Haven't ever stayed at the Plaza in one of the suites then, have you?" he asked, amusement flickering. "They come with butlers--they even will draw your bath for you."
It had always been one of Elijah's indulgences if the house was closed up and he was only going into town for a week or less.
Speaking of butlers, Richard came in with the tea service about that time. He wasn't quite as old as Klaus had said--or maybe he just didn't appear that way, given years of vampire blood included in his diet. But he certainly fit the image of an upstanding epitome of British butlerdom...even if dressed down for the moment in slacks and a cardigan instead of a suit.
Jack got a curious glance, but he dropped off the tray with two cups and a teapot and a few sandwiches. Klaus thanked him and told him he didn't need anything else tonight, and he left after another glance at Jack.
