I hear we are in need of Biscuits.

Ah I see. Well let us get to work then Ms. Wilton.

Maurice? He is wiping up as many biscuits as fast as he can all while making sure they are perfection. Every so often he checks and watching Ms. Wilton to make sure is is alright and is not in need of help.

With breakfast over Maurice is prepping for the small lunch and for dinner this evening.

The food. Perfection. Everything was nearly finished. Just a few things needed to be added before everything was ready.

Oh yes please. Would you care to check the pastries in the oven?

Maurice is finishing up the last bit of dinner with the help of Claire Wilton. Casually stealing a glance or two her way from time to time.

Can I help you Ms. Wright?

He smirked and dipped a spoon into the sauce and held it out to her. “Tell me what you think.”

He grinned and placed the spoon in the sink as he watched her with close eyes. “Perfect! It is a new recipe the duchess and I decided on.”

He nodded before he returned with wink with a playful grin. “Indeed. The first two are ready once everyone has arrived the third will be done shortly through the 2nd course. I have it all planned out and ready.”

Maurice is popping out each course with ease. Once one is finished leaving the kitchen he moves onto finish the next.

You are ruining my oysters!

Well done. I am throughly impressed

That you did Miss.Wilton.

His head fell back in a laugh at her teasing words before he looked back at her and gave her a playful look. “Perhaps we shall see just how much better at sweets you are. Then we will see who can teach who some tricks”

“How do you know that was not a test? To see your skills and where I needed to help you improve?” He smirked as he leaned against the island in the kitchen with a amused look.
