Ahem!
My Lady, if I may?
I was looking after the Lord, while you were away, so that no-one else could steal him away from you. I considered it part of my duties, as er, your employee. I hope you don't mind. I can assure you there is absolutely nothing between us, feelings-wise. I love another, and another. Hmmm. Well, you don't want to hear the ins and outs of my sex-life, do you? Er, would you two like some lunch now?

*returns with two chicken salads with chips
*goes away again then returns with a bottle of red wine.
Here you are, from your own cellar!
And yes, I do have a duplicate key for the door!
*pours the wine

* M.K for the want of anything tangible to say starts feebly pointing at G.B and nodding sagely... *

Yes, Yes to true...

* He turns to G.B... *

I think my 'intended' needs some rest & I have 'other' work to do...

But, you are doing a fine job !!!

Keep It Up !!!

* He strides away whilst trying to avoid F.C's piercing gaze... *

Lord M.K*

*wishes she could read between the lines of what was occuring between the two. she sighs deeply then retires to the bedroom to think awhile...*

*stokes up the fire*....

*Kes sits in the alcove, trying to thaw out, but (so far) failing. Time for many thoughts ...*

*fetches Kes a large whiskey & a jug full of coffee...

*returns with fresh jug of coffee*
*re-stokes fire*

Thanks. The chill is fading. I'll keep taking the medicine

*walks in, stokes fire to rid self of chill*

Hmmm, noone seems to be about at present.

*takes book from shelf and port glass from shelf by the fire. Looks around for some port...*

Lucky I have a flagon of fine port with me.

*takes a sip while curling up in a big easy chair, opens the book*

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

*Chrome wanders in, dressed in a voluminous silk smoking jacket and carrying a large highball full of scotch. He looks ... serene.*
