"Dear Mrs Snodgrass. After a thoughtful holiday weekend considering your response to my invitation, I've come to the regrettable conclusion that I must withdraw my invitation to you for dinner on account of the unfortunate attitude you have taken with my dear friend Alistair Quigley. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that I simply cannot allow a potential guest of mine to dictate to me my very own guest list. Again, it is with a most lamentable tone that I compose this missive as it has led to another unfortunate situation which is the awkward gesture of withdrawing my invite, but I wouldn't be a principled man if I didn't stand by my own principles. As a lady of society I'm sure you can see the predicament I currently face.
In conclusion, I do hope that you, Mrs. Snodgrass, do not view this as a rejection but as a problematic compromise. I shall end this letter with a request that you take heart and reconsider your initial response. Perhaps you made your decision amidst an emotional moment and that with time and a proper understanding of my position you will come to respond next with the tact and character that is expected of you. Yours in sincerity, Mr Mews."

If one doesn't live by one's principles, what does one have? Well done, Mews!
ReplyDeleteNot very much tomcat. I think I've made the right decision.
ReplyDeleteMews, Mrs. Snootgrass, um we mean Snodgrass may not be the type of Kitty you want to persue...we like Horst MUCH better, and he's a woofie! Not that we're speciest or anything.
ReplyDeleteYes Katnip, I do think Horst is a great chap, and that is-don't forget-the reason I am pursuing Mrs Snodgrass as Quigs and I feel that she may be involved in the "persecution" of certain non-feline members of the building...
ReplyDeleteOh, quite. I had forgotten the reason you were pursuing her. I daresay, otherwise one should reconsider altogether.
ReplyDeleteMr. Mews, you are a good friend! I think Mrs. Snodgrass would appreciate a Mancat of character.
