You know what I want?
A Lord Peter Wimsey of my very own, that's what.
(Been re-reading Murder Must Advertise and Strong Poison.)
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I think I'd OD on too much lord Peter, but I love those two. However, if anyone wants to give me a Roderick Alleyn....

You can keep Peter. I want a Bunter. Though he'll get his own room. I just want him to take care of my house.

I kind of like to have lunch with the Dowager Duchess, myself.

I wanna go to lunch too. We can bitch about Duchess Helen. And pet the cat

And then Franklin can dab iodine on the resultant scratches.
Not that I'm in any way against the lunch idea, I just remember what happened to the Duchess's butler in Busman's Honeymoon.

snerk. Yes, I thought of the scratches too, but I couldn't think of Franklin's name.

The cat is, of course, Ahasuerus. (I thought Franklin was sort of a lady's companion, not a butler? Female, anyway?)

I thought that the male butler was the one who got his nose scratched. As I think back on it, it was probably the Dowager Duchess dabbing the iodine on his nose. Or on Franklin's nose. Or maybe it was the butler who needed to go to the dentist and he had no cat trauma whatsoever.
I think I need to reread Busman's Honeymoon. Eh, the weekend looked all rainy and non-outdoorsy anyway, so why not?
