OK, I’ve spoken to Clara and Walt…..and I think they are both lying to me – so it’s put up or shut up time at the Palace.
[both staff troop in looking worried]
OK, you two. I know you have both lied to me. Clara – you lied about being pregnant and Walt – you lied about knowing.
So how about a little truth here? Let’s start with you, Clara…..
Yes mum. Well, when I found out I was pregnant I was scared I would lose my job. You wouldn’t want a bulgy maid. But I had to tell someone, so I told Walt – and made him promise to keep my secret.
Why did you make cyberkitten think he was the father?
I was worried I would not be able to raise a baby – and he seemed a nice man.
So, now it’s time to be honest……. Who IS the father??
Alright. Do you know... the muffin man?
The muffin man?
The muffin man.
Yes, I know the muffin man. Who lives on Drury Lane?
It’s the muffin man...
The muffin man?!
THE MUFFIN MAN!
But – he’s married…….
Yes mum. I know. I was stupid, but he told me his wife didn’t love him any more…..
Well, now that’s out in the open – Walt, why did you lie to me about knowing?
Ma’am, the poor girl was distraught, she needed a trusted confidante. Once the shock had worn off I intended to come and speak to you.
About the pregnancy?
No – about my plans to marry Clara.
[silence]
so - now the truth is out and everyone knows where they stand, I have to think what to do next.......... What do you think I should do?

Well... She did get it right about me being a nice bloke........ [grin]
Poor lamb..........
bawahahahahahaa! did i not tell you i was 100% sure that he wasn't the father? he knows you will need his services later this month! but as far as plans to marry her, now that i didnt know... hmmmmm... so if they get married to each other... who will plan their wedding and reception and who will work it? you will have to find new help!
Let me esplain, no, is too much, let me sum up; Clara got herself knocked up by the married Muffin Man and Walt wants to wed Clara? Holy Cripes! Maybe sending them to Naomi's wasn't such a hot plan. Is that where Walt fell for Clara?
I feel like I am trapped in some weird Barbara Cartland blogoside.
I say hire a wedding planner just don't use J-Lo she sucked.
Sorry I had to delete there was an error.
This is just too much, I think there was too much love around Naomi's place that it had Walt and Clara carried away. (Lol)
We-ell, I shall be the the voice of modern reason here then:-)
What should you do? Be a generous employer & give them a nice wedding present & generous maternity/paternity leave!
I'm sure you could spare the palace ballroom for the reception, and maybe Blair & Melinda would like to return the favour & come over to Blighty for the party?
As for who the father is, it really doesn't matter does it?
:-)
Well, I think it is wonderful that Walt wants to marry Clara...! What an upstanding thing for him to do. I could perform the ceremony, CQ! I think you should encourage their marriage; Give them your blessings and there will then be a little baby at the Palace! Oh, I love it! (Ever the romantic, I know...but it is a lovely finish to this distressing mystery, isn't it?)
Let's celebrate a wedding first and then worry about the rest...(that's why my mom stopped having house personnel and we would watch soap operas instead, lol!
Juggling mother has the right idea.
does the palace have married quarters??? just wondered.
