@hingehead,
Quote:M'lady, do you have the acquaintance of my old friend Lord Ellpus?
Quaintly, yes . We are not amused to be distantly related in the sense that he was twice removed from a scullery maid in my employ and last heard to have scarpered onto the continent. I shall enquire of my Lord Knowes Howe and his Lady Mondegreen about a comeuppance on the morrow.
