Your ladyship, there is no news of himselfship since he dropped his bottle hours ago - is he still with us? The party is degenerating, I would offer to go look but I have not met the hon gent and the shotgun might alarm him.
oo, 'er ladyship can't 'alf be pedantic when she wants to - I'd better keep a low profile for a bit - hey that's an ingenious way of melting snow you lot were trying earlier ??
Meg, I think I saw you in the distance last week, I think you arrived just as I was leaving - no, I only opened up tonight because her ladyship was in the land of Nod, I will relinquish all responsibility for most things which have happened this evening after that (and I think most of the rest of us feel the same!)
