: Mary Poppins was traveling home, but due to worsening weather,
: she decided to stop at a hotel for the night. She approached the
: receptionist and asked for a room for the night.
: "Certainly madam," he replied courteously.
: "Is the restaurant open still?" inquired Mary.
: "Sorry, no," came the reply, "but room service is available all night.
: Would you care to select something from this menu?"
: Mary smiled and took the menu and perused it. "Hmm, I would like
: cauliflower cheese please," said Mary.
: "Certainly, madam," he replied.
: "And can I have breakfast in bed?" asked Mary politely.
: The receptionist nodded and smiled.
: "In that case, I would love a couple of poached eggs, please," Mary
: mused.
: After confirming the order, Mary signed in and went up to her room
: for the night.
: The night passed uneventfully and the next morning Mary came
: down early to check out. The same guy was still on the desk.
: "Morning madam...sleep well?"
: "Yes, thank you," Mary replied.
: "Food to your liking?"
: "Well, I have to say the cauliflower cheese was exceptional, I don't
: think I have had better. Shame about the eggs, though....they
: really weren't that nice at all," replied Mary truthfully.
: "Oh...well, perhaps you could contribute these thoughts to our
: Guest Comments Book. We are always looking to improve our
: service and would value your opinion," said the receptionist.
: "OK, I will...thanks!" replied Mary....who checked out, then
: scribbled a comment into the book.Waving, she left to continue her
: journey.
: Curious, the receptionist picked up the book to see the comment
: Mary had written.
