The doctor will be pleased to call on Lady C tomorrow morning.
Please wear something loose to aid examination.

*Lady C gets quite hot and flustered at this message. When she has regained her composure, she starts to thumb through the medical books with a sense of purpose.*
Hmmm.

Oh yes, I might be getting a touch of that.

The symptoms of that are... oh no, that won't do.

AHA!
*She slams the book shut with a smile, and goes off to look for something loose yet alluring*
Lady C

*Nimrod, who has been sneakily looking through the window, snorts and gallops back to impart his information to B***y, Susan's horse.

*Lady C does not hear the hooves. She is busy looking through her wardrobe.*
No, no. That'll never do.

Well, that might, but it's a bit past it's best.

AHA! Perfect.

Lady C

*Lady C checks her relection in the mirror, and is pleased with her choice. She is wearing a diaphanous blue silk day dress that is loose and flowing, and yet clings in all the right places. Suitable for all occasions.*
Lady C

Owing to problematical connections, Dr John will be calling on Monday a.m.

*Thinks hard about making mischief and sticking a "Quarrantine! No visitors!" sign on Lady C's door and wanders off giggling and in search of a board and thick marker pen*

*Notices Gwennie hanging about at the front door. Sneaks out the back and disappears off down the lane, whistling and with a jaunty stride. As he passes some wild roses he stops, picks one and places it in his buttonhole.*

*Phillipa, is just passing by on her way back to the Tea Shoppe and bumps into Gwennie.*

Excuse me! Were you just at Lady C's house? Is my Auntie there?

Shhh! I'm "lurking"... No, dear. I haven't seen your Auntie and I'm still waiting to see her new hair colour.
