Mis Fids and Miss Cheerful will play the spinster most happily I am sure. They look the part so charmingly.

Is this an IPOAT thread? Where are the ladies of tender sensibilities? Have they been seduced by the dark side of TwiSluts?

Lawks what a night! The new Mr Umami is really quite well constructed, and has an unusual array of costumes and tools. What he lacks in subtlety he makes up for with enthusiasm.

I may even hang onto this one for a while, for when the Sheikh is not in town.

He introduced me to his sister who, despite her unruly appearance, is a highly-qualified and experienced geriatric nurse. She has agreed to do for Rochester whilst we are off hunting creatures of the night.

To some "spinster". To others charming young maiden.
We are so very pleased to have Mistress (Madame) Hully's many many years of experience to guide us through these exciting days.

Umami · 06/07/2011 13:21

What a friendly and inviting town this is! So many of the locals have arrived to greet us! We should share our walnuts and mutton with them.

Umami · 06/07/2011 13:25

I believe His Majesty's 87th Hussars are stationed not too far away Miss Belle, though they are much occupied routing the Visigoths. Perhaps we could tempt them away from their toils for a ball though.

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 13:25

Miss Fiddy, have you examined your appearance in Widow's mirror on the last thread?

It is a splendidly welcoming town! The dear count sleeps all day for some strange reason, but he entreats me to walk abroad with the locals and engage a wolf hunter of the first rank.

Miss Belle, fear not the Regiment will be with us a while. They have many uniforms.

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 13:26

Madam belle, is this the gentleman you wished to be acquainted with?

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 13:28

I fear I must make a match soon or I shall be forever a companion or a spinster...

Umami · 06/07/2011 13:29

I too have heard the rumours about Lord Tomas and Prince Tarquinus. Just don't tell Mimi or Fliffy, they may (or may not) be disappointed.

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 13:30

Does anyone else suffer with the Mysterious transylvanian Neck Inflammation?

i find I long for one of Miss Fid's poultices.

Miss Belle, Colonel Cholmondley-Featherstonehaugh wonders if you would like to see him work his splendid weapon?

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 13:31

Madam Honey, the poor gentleman bears a likeness to a former suitor.

Madame LaWeasel, I fear he would find me of scant interest...

TrillianAstra · 06/07/2011 13:32

Your question doesn't make any sense

Am I Being Unreasonable to be forced...?

If you are being forced then you are being neither reasonable nor unreasonable, it is something that is bieng done to you not something that you are doing.

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 13:33

I would be most pleased to inspect the Colonel's splendid weapon and proficiency thereof...

Umami · 06/07/2011 13:34

Hully rarely makes sense.

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 13:37

Oh Mistress Trills, you are a bluestocking!

Sadly I was denied an education and can do little but ply my needle and ensare beaux.

Hully is always right, though.
1st rule of yerknow, the Rules.

Widow, I am beginning t see an obsession a theme in your daguerreotypes

The Colonel stands up well to multiple viewings.

See how he lovingly caresses his equipment
