He emerged from the kitchen with a plate of those singularly insipid biscuits that come in boxes labelled 'rich tea assortment' and the like. Crowley had invented them many years ago - he'd been particularly pleased with the idea that you would only get chocolate if you went with 'luxury' - and had been mildly put out when the British had taken to them like the proverbial duck to the proverbial pond. It was a challenge, at times, working in a place where a lot of aspirations amounted to nothing more than getting one of those pink wafery ones before Stevens, of accounts, cadged the lot.
On the upside, it was amazing the boost to your reputation Below when you persuaded someone to sell their soul for a custard cream.

*looks hopeful*
