“Cook, are you entirely certain of this?”

Cook favoured me with a look of withering contempt. “Have you ever known me to be unsure of anything, Steward?”

“But, so many?” And then the killer argument occurred to me. “What if they crap on everything?”

Cook kissed her fingers. “Stop fretting, man. It will be a triumph—a dainty dish to set before a king.”

Certainly, I could imagine the dramatic effect of four and twenty blackbirds revealed in the pie, but doubted the guests would be swift enough to catch, kill, and eat them.
