Forgive my absence, dear ladies, we have recently been afflicted with a a strange, neck-located dermatisis I have been endevouring to treat with an ancient lichen compound...

Pray do mount these barouches (impatient from their days long delay)

Lord Byron Awaits you with a spendiferious picnic and seven, ah, brothers to entertain you with local dancing and story telling.....

Oh, I had forgotten about the picnic in the excitement of Mistress Hully's hunt!

I shall put aside my tatting and dig out my cherry sprigged muslim and matching half boots.

Will many of the Colonel's seven brothers be in attendance? Perhaps we will need more nubile young ladies lobster patties to slake their appetites? I am happy to roll sit on a picnic blanket with one.

Miss Fiderer. I am taking a brief sojourn by the sea, paying homage to the Great Whelk. I do hope our party in Transylvania are behaving modestly amongst the weird local knobnobility.

Hullygully · 11/07/2011 18:41

I have finished my rodding with the blunderbuss

But I no longer feel it's lack. Before the barouches set off, I feel an overwhelming urge to drop to all fours and slink about the forests.

May introduce you the http://farm1.static.flickr.com/197/469576922_f4630e7f97.jpg young ladies who have prepared your picnic feast : jellies, syllabubs and trifles, cold meats and of course, some healthy snacks

Mistress Hully, it is most unseemly to traverse the woods on ones haunches. However the butcher has just been, and I believe cook wants to see about some marrowbones.

I think you've also been spending a little too much time with Vicount Wuffingbonio and have neglected your charges somewhat.

Hullygully · 11/07/2011 19:46

Would anyone mind awfully if I just had a terribly quick sniff about their hindparts?

The compulsion is well nigh overwhelming.

I believe the Vicount has just showered and would not object Mistress Hully

Fiderer · 12/07/2011 05:15

Many thanks for the gift, Mistress Mini. It will be most useful in the drying shed. Such a refreshing change from muslin! I believe the sea air will do you good after the strains of Transylvania, the Count's balls, the wolf-hunting. All so hot, so hairy, so draining. You are surely in sore need of the calming influence of the Great Whelk.
I note a gruff tone in the missives from the other Ladies, a strange interest in the tenderness of the IPOAT livestock - must speak to our Gamekeeper

minimammoth · 12/07/2011 07:52

Indeed, Madam Hully will be in need of Training. Oh and don't mention 'walkies' or the 'vet'

sybilvimes · 12/07/2011 08:15

Morning ladies! Goodness the breakfast buffet was excellent today! I was a little surprised to see there was no toast or kippers, but there were at 60 other liver, kidney etc dishes! Some of them I didn't even recognise and many looked raw slightly undercooked but apparently Mistress Hully ordered them so I am sure they are all part of the authentic Transylvania experience!

Riveninside · 12/07/2011 08:24

Ho artisans, would you be kind as to direct me to the bar?

Hullygully · 12/07/2011 08:28

A Bloody Mary, Miss Riven?

Mistress Hully, your dribbling is most unbecoming, try a little Wolfsbane tea it's quite the local preventative delicacy.

Hullygully · 12/07/2011 10:25

huh huh huh

Does Hully need a new flea collar again?

BelleDameSansMerci · 12/07/2011 13:14

Oh, I am sore of head and neck this morning. I find myself strangely disturbed by the most vivid dreams of the Colonel.

Hullygully · 12/07/2011 13:16

I went for a ramble last night, high up in the forests where it's quite, quite dark and the little furry creatures of the night come out to play all unawares of the slavering beasts that wait in the shadows, and I saw the Colonel riding abroad on a magnificent black stallion. He looked pale, and in need of blood sausage and livery treats, poor fellow. I would have spoken with him, but strangely his horse took fright and bolted.
