AIBU in thinking that the IPOAT hall has transported to another dimension

[Minimammoth]

Where has it gone? Just as I was about to start sprucing it up for the jubilee and start tatting the bunting?

[Fiderer]

Oh Lord, Yak- you've been poisoned. Wicked miscreants no doubt. And there you were, at great personal danger, obtaining information necessary for the free world to soldier on.

I'm minded to advise a dose of Mistress Mini's Hairus Doggus Posset. 'Twill right the world.

[Minimammoth]

I have just freshly combed the Labrador for just such an event.

[Minimammoth]

Here you are, hold your nose, takeaway swig of this, now lick the dog.
Feel better?

[Minimammoth]

Takeaway?? Who sneaked the 'away' in there hmm, hmm?

[Minimammoth]

No he must not be disturbed, especially for such a minor thing < and the dog liked it>. it is Pentecost and he has the fervour upon him and is speaking in tongues an'all.

[Fiderer]

Who is this Mister Culler Jnr? I believe I have not had his card presented to me. Shall I enjoy his fervour?

[Jins]

I don't think I shall be licking a dog. However I feel bright as a button this morning and it's sunny again.

Early posset today I feel

[Minimammoth]

Perhaps I misread the receipt for the hangover remedy< adjusts lorgnettes>

[Fiderer]

Perhaps the Hall library needs updating. In our copy of the Encyclopedia Googletanica I found the following Messrs Cullen: oh And oh dear

[Fiderer]

Or is he Culler? If I removed the ankle coverings I would have a clothlet to clean my spectacles.

[Jins]

and another

Lend me your clothlet dear Fids

[Fiderer]

I need to know if his fervour is worth mine. In the past I have been cruelly misled by Mistress Hully foisting Reverends on me. I have become Careful.

And that's a Sad State for a gel to be in, I can tell you.

[Fiderer]

Not sure about Hully. I think she's busy trying to Right the Wrongness that afflicts MN these days and is much wearied.

A Ball and Concoctions sound just the thing to enliven her. I shall pen invitations forthwith.

[Jins]

A ball!!!! Oh how exciting.

It'll be the first this thread

[Fiderer]

Here be the pen. I am working on the Ball and the Concoctions.

[Hullygully]

This thread keeps vanishing into the ether but I hav now Watched it, so it should be vouchsafed safe. Yes.

I been much travailed as dear Miss Fids says with the unravelling of the Halls and am in sore need of both a grape tisane and restorative jig.

[Umami]

The Culler will surely provide you with a restorative jig, Hully, though his mood today appears dark.

I believe you are already sharing his tisanes.

[Fiderer]

The pen is truly fine.

I may however need to speak to the staff about their idea of a Ball and Concoctions

We have been absent for too long from the Hall. I shudder to think what the maids will offer as suitable dresses. We should visit a local Emporium or engage a seamstress.

[Fiderer]

Aha, so that's Mister Culler. A fine-looking young gentleman. Does he dance as well as imbibe? Mistress Yak is concerned about her weight. It would not do for her to crush him during a polka.
