My, but it is warm by the fire. Pray do come take a seat, and your noble companion too..

sybilvimes · 07/07/2011 16:52

True, its not a waistline one can fit many bonbons into but you look delightful. Might I suggest that a slightly looser fit would lead to less swooning?

But no, you are right, as nubile young ladies in search of a husband appearance is all. I shall endeavour to emulate you of course.

Umami · 07/07/2011 19:02

Lawks yet agin! It appears I succombed to the gentle caress of the laudanum again, and missed the hunt. Still, my husband tells me his pleasure was non the less for it, so marital bliss is maintained.

And I hear Hully looked a picture in her hunter's garb.

I squeezed myself into a Hully-esque corset for the Colonel's delight but sadly couldn't walk for swooning - and now he has married another!!

Oh, what will I do? Will love ever cast her fickle gaze my way? I have been slutty virtuous and this is my reward?

Woe, woe unto me.

CheerfulYank · 07/07/2011 19:27

You are too late, Belle !

CheerfulYank · 07/07/2011 19:30

Drat! I meant:

Reverend Holmwood-Seward seemed most pleased to wed us.

I fear Miss Cheerful, that i have sorrowful and unwelcome news The Colonel, strictly speaking and in a technical sense, is dead and therefore not at liberty to marry anyone. Oh, you too have cut your neck How careless you have all become! It's fortunate you didn't come on the hunt, I fear for your safety so slapdash are you all.

There there dear, you know there is a special Transylvanian Monastery for the Misled and Bitterly Disapoointed where constant prayer and light flagellation will erase your sorrow. Shall I send for Father Woebegone?

There's more to life than marriage, gels! There's tatting and hunting and fine needlework! Good heavens, I don't believe anyone has studied a line of Latin since we got here.

Oh Mistress Hully, forgive my foolishness. 'Tis the hunk hunt I crave...

HoneyNorwegianRidgebackdragon · 07/07/2011 22:41

Righto, I've buried the Cl. and notified his family. how are the other gels? Mistress Hully before I settle down to some tatting and intense conversation with the Count, I can't help but notice you look mildly furry since last nights hunt? Can I get you anything?

DrPolidori · 07/07/2011 23:30

Welcome, dear ladies! My master, Lord Byron, has commanded these barouches to whisk you to an al fresco picnic located amongst, ahem, pictureque ruins, located nearby. he has commanded me to list the contents of his picnic hampers in order to more easily persuade you to undertake this short, and picturesque journey!

Cheese and pickle sandwiches
Luncheon meat sandwiches
larks tongues in aspic
boar tail braised in pine juice
strawberries macerated in sugar and spice
scotch eggs
escalope of pheasant breast
jus de tomate au worcester sauce

And other delicacies....

Your carriages await!

BelleDameSansMerci · 08/07/2011 00:03

Ladies, shall we?

herecomesthsun · 08/07/2011 03:46

Missed off the gluhwein and schnitzel

Are we going in the horse and carriage or is there enough snow for the sleigh?
