Jeeves recently heard about a ship that is supposed to sail through most of the famous cities. The man became interested in the cruise and wanted to take part in it. The Englishman suggested his companion, Bertie, to go on the trip. However, Bertie did not expect to go on any cruises. Recently, his aunt Dalia came to Bertie and asked him for a favor. One store was selling a rare silver creamer that had been made back in the 18th century. This item interested Dalia’s husband, Tom Travers. And Thomas is only too happy to add this item to his collection, but everything is limited by the price.

And in order to get the shopkeeper to lower the price, Bertie has to convince the shopkeeper that the item is not worth his money, and that the optimal and adequate step would be to lower the price of the creamer. Upon reaching the right store, the Englishman searches with his eyes for the right item for which to lower the price. In the same shop Bertie notices Sir Watkin.
