Help!

I have embarked on an audit, and the new CFO is a combination of Honoria
Glossop and her cousin, Florence Craye!

Can anyone give me some sage advice as to how to survive this week?

Where is Jeeves when I need him?

Elementary my dear Adrian,

Talk with her freely. Flirt with her. Give tongue eagerly. Tell her that you
are the tree on which the fruit of her life hangs.

Greetings old top,

I am reminded, in response to your plea for help, of what is known in
our circles as "The Ickenham Method." When employed with alacrity and
surehandedness, it never fails to bring home the proverbial bacon. I
say that when you encounter the aforementioned object of your
disaffection, shall we call her Honoria Craye? Or Florence Glossop? Or
perhaps Floria Crassop? It's really your choice, old bean.
In any case, stride up to her, grab her by the arm, waggle her around a
wee bit, and then clasp her to your bosom, showering burning kisses on
her upturned face, all the while muttering, "My mate!" and the like.
I leave the details to you.
The other optioon, in now occurs to me, is simply to avoid her at all
costs.
Hope it helps.
Pip-pip!
Oily Carlisle

Whatever you do, do not give the impression that you are someone who
can be moulded. Those two characters delight in that activity.

She may lose interest in your expense accounts should an accident befall
her little brother. You might want to consider shoving the little
brute into a nearby lake.

Good plan. Or perhaps you could conceal some cats and/or fish in a
neighboring cubicle?

Thanks, Oily old bean, but you have confused me with some other chap. The
last thing I would like to do is "bring home the proverbial bacon". Wasn't
Bertie's dearest wish to oil out of his various engagements to HG and FC?
Aside from which she is absolutely not a pippin. Aside from which I'm
happily married (my wife insisted that I add that).

And I can't avoid her, because she is the CFO!

The good news is - I finish there tomorrow. So I'll hang in there, and
thanks for the good wishes.

Holmes - please watch what you write - keep it clean, laddie. Your third
sentence can be misconstrued!
