to be most aggrieved that I did not get married off in the last IPOAT thread? Won't someone think of Nigel?

[BeribbonedGibbon]

Well, am I?

Ladies, ladies. I do declare y'all are pawsitively reeking of desperation. Your actions are simply not fitting for a lady

ladies keep me covered until my mamma joins the other married ladies in the living room.

I fear she won't approve of my dress

Oh Miss Hullybelle, my daaaahling, aah have found you that blue dress y'allways were hankerin' after. Aah have even set four of mah best men for to guard you, for shorely all the gentleman will be struck crazy by your beauty, an' will try to carry you off an' ravish you.

(a mysterious stranger arrives)

Abercrombie! Why, tis surely not you! How many a long season has it been since I laid eyes on your poor dumb self! I had thought you met a most fateful end, but it appears not. I must consult our librarian slave and peruse the histories.

Dearest Abercrombie! I had given you up for dead! I do believe you were last seen Highwaymanning in a cave somewhere on the outskirts of London. And there was, of course, some terrible injury inflicted on you by Hully's super-strength MAIDENJUICE.

Do you print them out, Widow? I wish I had..

Didier...hmmm.

No, but I do wish I had saved the ones that were in _Chat.

Yes, although I believe there was only one. We should have saved it.

I always imagined Didier to look something like this, though strictly speaking he was before my time.

Was he? I don't remember him at all. usual alcoholic foggy brain haze...

Don't you fret now, Miss Jinny, we is just havin' a little old reminisce over times past. We have had many an incarnation ove the threads...

Oh no I'm not fretting. It's just an excuse to swig brandy

It may not be Didier. Mimi had some kind of French studly servant bloke at her hideaway. He may have been a bandito of some sort. I forget.

"Twas indeed Didier. But I have another Frenchified beau from New Orleans due to attend the ball, the Chevalier Antoine de Moutarde...how ah thrill to his sexy accent! He has promised to tell all about the latest Parisian fashions!

Last time I was given an item of the latest parisian fashion I put it on the wrong way round.

I was freezing

diddler is charming but he too makes the occasional fashion faux pas

Erm hello everyone
Hully assures me I have been on this thread before so I'm just popping on to see if it looks familiar
It doesn't
Nice to meet you all :o

I rather fancy diddler

(Have namechanged because Hully called me this elsewhere and I liked it)

Do you not recognise diddler stealth ?

Perhaps you have wiped it from your memory - our minds find a way to protect us from such things.

Well howdy do Stealthy-Lou PolarBelle! Are y'all coming to the big party at Mimi-LouBelle's Pa's house? All the finest gentleman will be there. AmeliaPagwatch has made sure they's all invited.

Can I interest you in a mint julep? Or perhaps a small glass of oestro-gin?

diddler??
Have I really been on this thread before?
Are you all drunk?
If not, why not?

We are not drunk. If we were the thread would become obscure and muddled. And that would be bad.

I have a recollection of your being on here stealth. Were you involved in the Battle withbthe Queen of Huns . We lost many that day
