I don't know about you kittens, but I'm having a marvellous summer. The brats haven't bothered me once because they're too busy doing Circe knows (or cares!) what, I have a dozen gorgeous new dresses and plenty of places to wear them, and I even fell in the river the other day while out punting and it was still a delicious day. Not to mention that this being of-age thing means none of the old ducks are flapping their wings at me any more for pinching their gin - I should have turned seventeen years ago.

In any case, I do hope I'll see all of you who are worth seeing at our garden party this Sunday. Well, I say garden party, Mother says "twilight fantasie", whatever that means. She's been very shrill about the dress code and white being essential, so cross Mama at your peril. Mind you, she's also been saying something about fireworks to cap off the evening, which sounds like an absolute scream to me. I was thinking of watching them from the roof, so don't wear anything you don't mind getting dirty.

Then again, isn't that what I always say?

	May I sneak into your 'twilight fantasie' and watch some fireworks? I love fireworks to death, but my mother won't let us get some because she thinks we'll set the house on fire. WHICH WE WOULD NEVER DO, but. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Of course, darling! You simply must, in fact. If you want to miss all the boring stuff - and it will be such a drag, all the old dears gossipping and falling asleep in the sun; I plan to skive off into the shrubbery as soon as possible - the fireworks won't start until after sunset anyway. Just find me when you get there. OH, and you must wear white. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Splendid! Yes, I don't do well with boring stuff, so expect me to arrive with the setting sun, all dramatic like. White? While I do admit I look wonderful in white, why must I wear it? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Twilight fantasie?? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	So she declares and you know that when it comes to the finer details of social niceties, my mother is never wrong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Your mother needs to get her head examed, is what. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I beg your pardon, brat. Though I suppose being thought unhinged by the likes of you could be construed as a compliment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	alfredo 2009-07-22 05:18 am UTC (link)
	Darling, everyone's unhinged by me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	drury 2009-07-22 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Darling, I believe it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	wiltshireprince 2009-07-21 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	I have no doubt I will be there. And so will the rest of my family, and won't that just be swell. And with that said, given this new found freedom of yours, are you going to pinch some gin for us poor souls who have yet to be so lucky? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	drury 2009-07-21 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh Brax, as though you've ever had trouble charming anything you want out of the old ducks with those big, pretty eyes of yours. But bring me something sweet, and I'm happy to provide! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiltshireprince 2009-07-22 01:04 am UTC (link)
	I'd hate to tarnish my image as a wholesome young man who shuns the evils of fags and firewhiskey, so I'm afraid that charming them would be right out. But that's wonderful to hear. It'll be an act of compassion, Durella dearest. They'll canonize you for it for certain. Any specific sweets? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	drury 2009-07-22 01:25 am UTC (link)
	Compassion has nothing to do with it, you take back that scurrilous accusation! But by all means, yes, let's protect your fragile virtue. I have faith in your sweet-choosing ability, just make it something decadent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiltshireprince 2009-07-22 03:29 am UTC (link)
	I beg your pardon. I'd never besmirch your name like that intentionally. Withdrawn. And as you wish. Decadent it shall be. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Garden party? Why on earth would you be having a garden party? Even the name sounds boring. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	drury 2009-07-22 02:37 am UTC (link)
	To enjoy the balmy weather? We tried having one in winter and everyone froze stiff and we had to set them on fire to thaw them out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callmeren 2009-07-22 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Why not a regular party? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	drury 2009-07-22 03:26 am UTC (link)
	It is a regular party. In the garden. Thus the name. Besides, playing croquet inside is murder on the floors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callmeren 2009-07-22 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	Hmmmm. I've never been to a garden party before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	drury 2009-07-23 12:27 am UTC (link)
	How sad and yet unsurprising. Wait, are you angling for an invitation? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callmeren 2009-07-23 12:30 am UTC (link)
	HAHAHA. If I wanted to go to the party I would have asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)
