The telephone had barely finished its first ring when Hyacinth Bucket\u2014pronounced\u00a0Bouquet<\/em>, as she firmly believed every civilized person should know\u2014glided across the sitting room with the grace of someone expecting Buckingham Palace on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bouquet residence,\u201d she answered in her most aristocratic voice. \u201cLady of the house speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard looked over the top of his newspaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve never said that before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt the occasion required it.\u201d<\/p>\n

A polite voice replied, \u201cGood morning. I\u2019m calling from the County Civic Office regarding tomorrow\u2019s Community Excellence Award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyacinth\u2019s eyes widened.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow delightful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confirming arrangements for the presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyacinth barely heard another word. In her imagination, \u201cCounty Civic Office\u201d had already become \u201cRoyal Household.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she finally hung up, she clasped both hands dramatically.<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard\u2026 tomorrow we may be receiving very distinguished visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard frowned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought they were presenting an award to the gardening club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey often begin with gardening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within twenty minutes, Hyacinth had telephoned Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Elizabeth! I require your assistance immediately. There is every possibility that someone with royal connections will be visiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth nearly dropped her teacup.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoyal?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot reveal details.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know them, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI choose not to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across the street, Onslow was washing his car with surprising enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

Daisy looked suspicious.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince when do you wash the car?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m leaning on the hose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose came dancing out of the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard Hyacinth\u2019s expecting royalty!\u201d<\/p>\n

Onslow laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoor royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

By evening, Hyacinth\u2019s house gleamed from top to bottom. Every cushion sat at precisely the correct angle. Every spoon shone. Richard had polished the brass door knocker three separate times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s polished enough,\u201d he sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should reflect good breeding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can already see my exhausted face in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next morning, Hyacinth stood beside the window every few minutes, peering through the curtains.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth arrived carrying flowers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure which arrangement looked most elegant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyacinth inspected them carefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roses are perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe daisies, however\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey look cheerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hoping they looked tasteful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just then, a black executive car slowly entered the street.<\/p>\n

Hyacinth gasped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re here!\u201d<\/p>\n

She rushed outside before the vehicle had fully stopped.<\/p>\n

Richard followed at a considerably slower pace.<\/p>\n

The driver stepped out and opened the rear door.<\/p>\n

A smartly dressed gentleman emerged carrying a leather folder.<\/p>\n

Hyacinth curtsied.<\/p>\n

Actually curtsied.<\/p>\n

The gentleman blinked.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome to the Bouquet residence.\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at the folder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m searching for the Community Hall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyacinth froze.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hall?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Richard could gently intervene, a second car appeared behind the first.<\/p>\n

Several well-dressed officials climbed out.<\/p>\n

One of them carried a large polished trophy.<\/p>\n

Hyacinth whispered excitedly,<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard\u2026 this is definitely them.\u201d<\/p>\n

She swept confidently toward the newcomers.<\/p>\n

\u201cLadies and gentlemen, I trust your journey has been comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

One official smiled warmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyacinth beamed triumphantly.<\/p>\n

Then the official added,<\/p>\n

\u201cCould you direct us to Mr. Onslow? We\u2019ve been told he\u2019s receiving today\u2019s Community Excellence Award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyacinth\u2019s smile became perfectly motionless.<\/p>\n

Onslow?<\/p>\n
