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

[Hullygully]

Umami, time is of no consequence in this 'all of the fantazzies...

Mam'selle 'ully, you may 'ave a parrt in a sedate quadrille with my 'usband Justin.

But you are not to ride off with 'im ventre-a-terre!

Mme Gibbon, why, 'ere is dear Marcus to delight your eye and fever your brow

Just looked in for a twirl limp around the dance floor.

Happy waltzing, you wenches!

(I have admired Mr Depp for many a year I do like an alternative sort of chap )

Marcus!

Hoh yes to Lord Gregory, mayhap he might attend my fevered brow after I have had a whirl with Avon.

Mitts off Miles, He's mine! I hear he garnered a great fortune in India and is a huge nabob....

and I do prefer something a little more manly

Ah, Your Dukeship, I would be honoured to partake in a cotillon with you.

Oh Gibbon, I see Marcus dances as roughly as he looks. You are quite flushed.

Who does the Widow dance with? And Duchess Avon?

my dear, with his fortune, I'd lend him my own dresses!

Very well, Mimi. How does his nabob? I trust it doesn't disappoint?

but who is that dark stranger approaching the pavillion?

Ahhh, these gentlemen are all very well ladies but my beau cuts a discreet dash and has such an interesting manner when we play our little futuristic role play charades

MmePaggy! He is indeed a fine figure of a man...I could well imagine brooding manliness and abrupt manner being fatal for a young girl's heart!

ahhh.

I suppose I should ask him his name

I think he said Lord Gene of Huntingdonshire. But it was unclear as we were at a crucial stage of our role play and it sounded a little like ooohhhgufffnuggg.

I shall enquire once more. ( when he awakens)

Pah! As you are all determined I shall not have my Miles, I shall take a turn about the hothouse with Mr Beaumaris, and admire the peaches and pineapples...

Mam'selle 'ully! I now take Avon back, for 'e is mine! And I must finish zis thread with 'im.

Brandishes Looks daggers.

But who is this approaching? He looks familiar and yet utterly changed! Canst be? Is it possible Mr Rochester that you have visited LA whilst so long away? Mr Rochester renewed

Dear Leonie, pray hand over Miles to Mimi if you have Avon back as she hankers most dreadfully for his tender haunch.

the woman is obsessed!

But did no one notice the swarthy gentlemen I pointed out a few posts a ago? I thought there might be some kind of reunion for Mme Umami, but 'tis up to her....
