Her Ladyship hired an elderly painter to decorate their London apartment. He painted the bathroom, the bedroom, the hallway, then left for the night.
His Lordship came home and her Ladyship told him how pleased she was with his work.
'Is the paint dry?' he asked and put his hand on the wall, leaving finger marks. Needless to say, she gave him an earful for doing it.
Next morning the old painter came back and was mixing the paint when her Ladyship came in.
'Come with me to the bedroom,' she said. 'I want to show you where his Lordship put his hand last night.'
The old man looked at her a bit sheepishly, saying, 'Lady, I'm an old man, a cup of tea would do me more good!'
