If you would care to wait in here madam while I tell Mr.Body that his guests have started to arrive. Please help yourself to drinks.

Here you are sir. Do please help yourself to a drink.

Simon Davies enters the drawing room and approaches the drinks table. He glances at Marisol, and asks "what's your fancy, madam?".

I will have a small glass of sherry, thank you. Dry.

Jeeves, would it be possible to see Abel before dinner? Just a quick word.

I'm afraid the Mr Body is currently still bathing madam.

Please excuse me, I believe I hear the door.

Simon pours Marisol a glass of dry sherry and walks it over. He then goes back to the drinks table and helps himself to a large, neat whiskey.

Here you are madam, do please help yourself to a drink.

Well, good evening. Nice to see you, Marisol. And you too, Simon.

Simon casts an appraising glance at Maria Morgan.

Can I offer you a drink, ma'am?

*Marisol is looking around the room and nods to Maria, rather absently. She finishes her perusal and a small smile of satisfaction crosses her face*

I'll have a vodka martini, 2 olives. And do call me Maria this evening. We aren't in a board room.

If you will excuse me please sir, I'll just pop down to the kitchen to check up on cook.

Miss Somers arrived on my way to the kitchen sir.

Shall I inform cook that you would care to dine shortly sir?

"You've got it, Maria", Simon twinkles, and busies himself mixing a martini, which he then walks over and sets in front of Maria on a cocktail napkin.

Simon gives Jeeves a wry smile. "Only if you can fetch that lazybones Mr Body, Jeeves old man!"

I shall rouse him immediately sir.

* goes off to inform Mr Body of his guests all being here *

*Sips her drink.*

Thank you. That's a fine martini, Simon.

Simon pours himself another net whiskey, and sidles up to Maria's seat.

"It's good seeing you again, kid. How are things with the business?"
