Sir B. has just returned from a month of medically prescribed R and R in the colonies, and is, if we may say so, a totally different fellow. But perhaps the most ghastly turn in his persona has been that he has affected a truly horrific drawl, and insists on ending each of his phrases with the syllable 'hay'. The fellows and I have gone over the club's rulebook with a fine toothed comb, and can find no point of etiquette which he fails to meet. Any advice would be most appreciated. While one imagines that this comment refers to his estate, the chaps and I can only picture images of him doing something unspeakable to the rather expansive backside of the lady of the manor.
Travel can so change a fellow.
One advises a thorough snubbing. Employ the Cut Direct, if need be. As a measure of insurance, please instruct the club cloakroom attendants to crush the offending hat beneath a number of the other members' beaver pelt coats. One is torn. Never before has Fiona been wrong, yet one knows not what one would do if one could not share one's life with this young lady.
