Great Gatsby? You mean like Ivan the Terrible?
Terrible? No, you're thinking about Tom, I feel.
Ivan the Terrible was nothing like the man in the castle who had parties ever night. People came from miles and miles to his parties.
Parties that you went to? Were they interesting?
Interesting, yes they were, the guest list included many interesting down to earth people. Like Peter Jacob Baron, who enjoyed sharing his many stories of his travels around the world.
World of excitement, it seems! Did you dance?
Dance you asked, I should have danced all night. Dancing all night would have been much less work.
Work? So what did you do that was more strenuous?
Strenuous, was not that night but the next 25 years of bringing up 4 children. It all started that one night with the stars in the sky.
Sky rockets in flight.
Afternoon delight.
Delighted is what happened to the lighting-bug when he backed up into the fan.
Fan mail, that used to be a big thing for movie stars; I bet they get a lot fewer actual letters now, but lots more faxes, text messages and e-mail. Did you ever send a letter to Father Christmas, up the chimney?
Chimney would get cleaned once a year, when Santa slid down. He always tracked soot onto the carpet.
Carpets so thick that you sink into them ankle deep, over-stuffed chairs that dwaf whoever sits in them, shelves upon shelves of all my favourite books. My idea of a beautiful room.
Room to expand, that's what pants must have for hauches such as mine. Although we Brits don't talk of "pants", we say trousers.
Trousers fit you, McTag, you look fit. And you can still dance until the early morning.
Morning has broken, like the first morning. But I feel as though I am still suffering the effects of the night before.
Before the man lies the question. On this instance, the question is: 'are you now feeling better?'
Better, yes it is better to retire when you can be out and enjoy your self. Then go back to work till old age.
Age, and then the only end of age come too quickly. But it is better that they should come quickly in happiness than slowly in despair.
