To think we should have finished off the Queen of Huns?

[Hullygully]

oooohhh my head...dear God what happened last night? I can barely remember a thing.

I must have performed some Eurythmy as I have some scarves tied around my wrists and ankles..though I don't usually tie them?

Ohhh I need mimi and one of her medicinal cures for my aching head

Oh M-m-m-miss Hully!

G-g-g-g-g-good morrow! I trust you slept well? Truly, you look most refreshed! Y-y-y-y-your cheeks are quite as rosy a-a-as a-a-as, well, r-r-r-r-roses and your eyes s-s-sparkle like f-f-fiery opals in the dawn l-l-l-light.

T-t-t-t-truly I would d-dearly love to take a t-t-t-turn with you, b-b-b-b-but Mr Abercrombie has demanded satisfaction, and s-s-s-s-s-so I m-must wait for him here, or d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dishonour myself and the D-d-dragoons. P-p-p-p-perhaps you w-will w-wait w-with me, though, in my final minutes?

!

Right, chaps, I've got the regimental duelling pistols here. Or do you choose the sword Mr Abercrombie?

Mr Beaulieu, take your pistol please. Gentleman, please stand back-to-back here. It's 20 paces, turn, and fire. Good luck.

Thank you, Miss Hully, for your hospitality here this last day. Please do not be sad when I am gone. It is enough for me that I was able to spend these short minutes with you here this morning. Truly, I shall die content.

1....2....3....4....5....6....7....

Oh dear Lord are they really going to see this through?

8....9....10....11...

And you Miss Gibbon, it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I hope you are able to find a better role model for little Nigel than Mr Abercrombie!

12....13....14....

No no no no no no! I cannot let this happen!

Runs to Beaulieu and shields him with fine curtain crinoline>

No, Abercrombie. This has gone far enough. I forbid you to denmand satisfaction, or at least I permit it, but only from yon Gibbon. We had something once something quite special, crammed in that barrel together, but it's over and you'll just have to accept it and move on. Gibbon loves you and she is a good woman.

19....20.....

Dear God Man! Look out for the woman!

Abercrombie Archangel Fitch, what on Earth are you doign?

Right, that's it. I told you Abercrombie, don't say you weren't warned.

Do get up Beaulieu dear, you're fine.

"MAIDEN JUICE saved my life! I was about to be MURDERED in a DUEL when MAIDEN JUICE dissolved the bullet in mid-flight. MAIDEN JUICE - for all you defensive and offensive needs. MAIDEN JUICE."

Hully, waht a cold hearted sort you are. Abercrombie was once dear to you . Surely you know 'tis his misfortune to often fire early?

Pagwatch!

Sorry, Pagwaaaaaaaaaaatch!

Paggy (where you bin?) he was going to shoot me...what would you have had me do?

()

There, there dearest umami

I have missed you too.

I must away to visit Delightful Bond Steet and attend many seamstresses, gifted in the art of bossom enhancement and buttock camoflage. I shall return . I am most anxious to know the fortune of poor Abercrombie. Hully in flight was indeed a terrifying sight - I wonder will she catch him?....
