The Confusion Begins

Subject: Confirmation

This I am sure will be most acceptable. It allows some of our members a chance to repair to the Borders on arrival in London and refresh themselves in the ladies room on the third floor, although Miss Marchant’s penchant for long flowing dresses has on at least one occasion caused her some embarrassment there. (You do of course recall the occasion the hem of her heavenly velour gown got caught in the up escalator, resulting in two separate counts of breaching the peace; one for Miss Marchant, and one – of course – for Miss Twigham.)

However, I shall sound the rallying cry at once, to whit: one dawn chorus, a swanee whistle and a burst of Aida.

Yours ever more and in terms of utmost infection (the latter in the case of Miss Twigham)

Sarah-Jane Chlamydia Rossington-Smythe.

Words of Wisdom

A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.

  • Stained Steel

    Baby oil is excellent for cleaning brushed stainless steel. However it is not advisable to squeeze it from your neighbours’ babies. Instead choose one from a few streets away so no suspicion falls on you.
