Ah yes Belle, muslims are quite the in-thing according to my modiste this season

Goodness, thats a lovely reticule

Umami · 06/07/2011 19:54

I see you have caught a glimpse of our lovely gels Colonel. They are they very figure of wholesome, virtuous womanhood, are they not? And I do believe they all have space on their dance cards this evening. I hope you will take a turn about the floor with each of them in the course of the evening? You'll not find finer partners here tonight; the local girls are comely enough, but a touch forrard for my liking.

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 20:23

Unami, your recent adventures with all their Eastern Promise appear to have left you somewhat uptight and restrained?

Would you care to join me me in a herbal remedy?

Umami · 06/07/2011 20:32

I won't say no to a drop of laudanum in my tea.

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 20:35

Were out of tea leaves....Gin? Tis medicinal...

sybilvimes · 06/07/2011 20:41

tries to see self in description of 'virtuous, wholesome womanhood,' fails miserably.

Aww, he does have a lovely smile though the colonel doesn't he? You are working very hard to get us off your hands help us, Umami, can I run and get you a glass of ratafia?

Umami · 06/07/2011 20:57

Just the laudanum with a drop of ratafia for flavour then, I think.

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 21:33

Umami, do you find the laudanum efficacious?

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 21:46

Why, what on earth has happened to Widow? She is sound asleep upon the chaise, how pale her skin and red her lips.

Wake up Widow dear, it grows dark and soon we must set off for the wolf hunt and cocktails at the castle.

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 21:52

Mistress Hully, what attire should one don for wolf hunting?

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 21:55

A stout cloak and hobnailed boots are recommended Mistress Honeydragon. And a hat to cover the face that the wolf be not alarmed. Perhaps a few branches woven about the shoulders to act as camouflage.

Wishes good evening to all and would be very honoured to make your acquaintance

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 21:56

Good evening - is it Miss or Mistress Electric?

Do you hunt at all?

OP posts:
Hullygully · 06/07/2011 21:57

Twill be a most busy evening! Cocktails at the castle, a wolf hunt, and then a ball. I hope everyone is well-rested after their wedding?

Hullygully · 06/07/2011 21:58

Indeed, I must swoon for a while and gather my energies and hunting garments e'er our departure.

ElectricSoftParade · 06/07/2011 22:01

Am Mistress Electric and bid you Good Evening Miss/Mistress Hully. Thank you for your welcome.

I am not a hunter by nature but have become interested due to the descriptions here. I feel my knowledge is lacking. I may have become confused but, earlier on, was a fine Captain mentioned?

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 22:04

Mistress Hully, might I attend you while you swoon?

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 22:04

where do I stick the twigs?

Honeydragon · 06/07/2011 22:06

gosh.... it appears my camouflage out fit is so good it cannot be seen by anyone, even myself

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 22:06

Miss Electric, I believe Mr Rochester requires some assistance...

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 22:07

so keep your kid gloves the Colonel

BelleDameSansMerci · 06/07/2011 22:07

off the Colonel, even

ElectricSoftParade · 06/07/2011 22:08

Where is Mr Rochester? Where?
