"Oh, I'm fine, just having a bit of a time composing this invitation to Mrs Snodgrass. Normally, I would have completed such a mundane task in a heartbeat-but I'm finding myself at a loss for words. It feels a bit disingenuous to invite her over only to pick her brain for information."
"Mews, I thoroughly understand. However, a gentleman's tasks are not always easy. Don't over analyze this Mews. You know it needs to be done. Now, take a break and enjoy this crepe-I bought it from Perierra Crepes on Hawthorne. Delicieux!"

Mews, it's much easier to think on a full stomach, anyway!
ReplyDeleteYes, I get a bit peevish on an empty stomach. Anyone who knows me knows this to be true!
ReplyDeleteMr. Mews, we have a feeling that this Snodgrass person is probably the type to hardly let you get a word in edgewise. We think you will have nary a problem collecting, um, "information".
ReplyDeleteBUT...you must be sure that it is you who guides the conversation, my dear Mews.
ReplyDeleteYes, I shall indeed be the master of the house!
