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.

Sarah-Jane Chlamydia Rossington-Smythe.
