The only reason that Charles could suggest is that heels are just part of the traditional housekeeper image. Similarly, there’s no real reason for them to wear dresses. They’re just part of the ‘look’. “Flat shoes would make more sense.” Charles reckoned. “…but I quite like being a bit taller.”
“I’m petrified that I’ll twist my ankle or something… it’s weird being this high up.”
“You’ll get used to it.”
“How did I know you were going to say that?” Mike dryly retorted as Charles sorted and folded a big pile of socks. “Can I help?” he offered.
“Sure.” Charlie smiled. “I know it sounds sad but I quite like sorting the socks.” he said. “It’s like a game of snap but with socks, pairing the colours and patterns… and if you finish with no oddies, you win.” he smiled.
