Sowerbutt's Thanks

“Miss Nobbe,” Bracken called. The tall woman looked startled. “Yes, sir? Is anything wrong?” “This afternoon the Prime Minister asked me to speak to you.” “Yes sir? Nesta’s voice had gone up a notch. “He told me to thank you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, for your willing help. This operation is vital to Britain winning the war and you are playing a very important part. Please pass on Mr Churchill’s personal thanks to your excellent cook.” Nesta Nobbe was flustered. She curtsied, said “Oh, thank you, sir” and hurriedly backed out of the room.
