Pshaw! Vegetables instead of slaves - whoever heard such a thing.
I heard someone at the market ask for a potato with eyes in it as it had to see them through the week.

Well, what can one do when the chips are down?
The Back Parlou
Vestboy Posted Sep 21, 1999
What indeed - here, let me top your glass up with a draft of fizzy sherry.
*glug, glug, glug*

*eyes light up*
'pon my word, is that an angel in our presence? Such a vision of beauty!
Good morrow M'lady.

You know, this fizzy sherry looks very suspicious to me... why, if I didn't know better.... oh, good morrow, Ms L. *bows*

The Duke of Dunstable Posted Sep 21, 1999
*Gets up* I prefer a more modest salutation of you, M'lady. A gentleman does not publicly diplay signs of emotion or affection. Care for a seat and a glass of wine?

Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Sep 21, 1999
Blast - so that's where I've been going wrong!
The Back Parlou
The Duke of Dunstable Posted Sep 21, 1999
Not at all. *smiles* Vestie, care for another glass? I'll get it while I'm still up.

Aaaaagh. My carriage has arrived and I must bid you farewell.
I will see you all anon. Thank you, Duke, but no thank you. I will take this hop flask of fizzy sherry to keep me going.

*woozily* Mr Pepys... sorry to ask, but you wouldn't happen to have a commode available?
The Back Parlou
Samuel Pepys Posted Sep 21, 1999
Sir you will find all you need in the room next door. 
The Back Parlou
Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Sep 21, 1999
Thank you very much indeed... *goes next door in rather a hurry*

*staggers in, covered in mud*
Some blaggards carriage nealy ran me over. Should I see that individual once again I shall be forced to call him out. Is there a shot of brandy going, purely for medicinal purposes you understand.
The Back Parlou
The Ambassador Posted Sep 21, 1999
Good day to you all.
*Offers a rather stilted bow*
You must excuse my rather formal gestures. My new britches do restrict me rather. I am though, confident that they are of the finest cloth and cut that a man could wish for.. *listens for sounds of agreement*
I will be the envy of the colony upon my return. The Governor will flush with a jealous hue - and doubtless I will be sent on some pointless journey to the nether end of the South Island..
*Interrupted by sounds of energetic retching nearby*
Goodness! Mr Pepys - Is one of your household unwell?
