Mr Hurst 05:35:03
Good afternoon miss Bingley *stifled yawn*
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:35:30
Oh, my darling brother in law (cough cough) not hunting today I take it?
Mr Hurst 05:36:15
No, my left leg is being tiresome again. Come have a hand of Piquet
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:36:19
You may yawn, brother, but I can hold a person's attention better than you can!
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:37:29
Piquet? Certainly, let's set up a table, as long as Mr Darcy wishes it.
Mr Hurst 05:37:51
I did not yawn, it was a stifled yawn.
Mr Hurst 05:38:12
I fear Mr. Darcy has little question in the matter
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:38:45
Why not, pray?
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:39:19
I must cater Mr Darcy's every whim if I am to secure him and not lose him to that Bennet trollop.
Mr Hurst 05:40:00
For he is not here. Perhaps if he were here he might be able to voice an opinion in the matter but as he is not here, he obviously cannot voice an opinion in the matter......does that make sense??
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:40:28
You could never make sense, brother.
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:41:21
Mr Darcy may not be here, but he is but in the next room and I must be satisfied in this matter!
Mr Hurst 05:42:06
Well perhaps what I mean is that since he is not here his opinion cannot be asked. *frowns thoughtfully and takes another drink of wine*
Mr Hurst 05:42:47
Then bring him in and ask, He is bound to have or know someone who can play piquet. Piquet needs four
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:43:06
*"accidentally" jogs Hurst's elbow*
Oh, I'm so sorry, did I spill it all over you?

I do beg your pardon miss Bingley, but my glass required refilling.

Greetings Darcy, this Brandy is superb.
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:45:39
Oh, Mr Darcy! How nice it is to see you!
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 05:46:12
Why thank you Hurst. My father purchased it some years ago.
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 05:47:28
Indeed, I really must ask you for a source of it, have not found such for considerable time.

F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 05:49:04
We have another bottle in our cellar if you want to take some home. I don't usually drink that much.
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:49:42
Georgiana! My dear friend, how lovely it is to see you! *keeps one eye carefully on Darcy to see how he is taking her kindness to his loved sister*
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 05:50:42
I thank you Darcy, I most certainly will take you up on that offer. I take it you don't know where your father got it from.
Georgiana Darcy Shyness@Eeeek.com 05:51:06
Hallo Caroline. How are you?
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 05:51:29
No, I don't know where it was he got it. Before my drinking days, you know old chap.
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:52:11
Oh, Georgiana, I am well, but the important thing is how are you?
Georgiana Darcy Shyness@Eeeek.com 05:52:36
I am well thank you.
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 05:52:47
Confound it *yawns*
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:53:48
That is good, Georgiana.
Now Mr Darcy, do you wish to play a game of Piquet before my brother falls asleep? *pokes Hurst in ribs*
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 05:54:31
*sits up with a grunt*
I was not asleep
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 05:54:38
Erm...
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:55:43
*sarcastically* Oh, of course you were not asleep brother.
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 05:56:26
I am glad you agree with me. Please desist in assaulting my ribs.
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:57:30
As you wish *kicks his shin*
Georgiana Darcy Shyness@Eeeek.com 05:58:15
Miss Bingley, I had some music just arrive from London, would you care to see it?
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 05:58:41
ouch! *rubs shins and stares bitterly at Caroline*
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 05:59:52
Um, of course Georgiana *looks over at Darcy*
Georgiana Darcy Shyness@Eeeek.com 06:00:47
*walks hurridly out of the room*
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 06:02:18
*Follows Georgiana unwillingly*
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 06:03:20
Ahh peace at last. Some wine Darcy *reclines and yawns, before taking a sip of wine*
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 06:03:53
*sighs*
Respite!
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 06:04:29
You do realise you are offering me my own wine?
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 06:06:20
But of course, but one must offer something, and you seemed reluctant about taking part in a game of cards. Though the offer is still open.
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 06:09:04
Let's play snap.
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 06:10:31
SNAP!!!!!!......well okay, I know no other game
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 06:10:52
Except old maid. But we need Caroline to play that game.
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 06:12:03
LOL! Maybe you're not such a bad old stick after all, Hurst old boy.
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 06:12:28
*pops head around door*
I heard that!
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 06:14:23
Heard what?
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 06:15:30
You think that I'm an OLD MAID! I will not die an old maid while there is a single Darcy in this world!
Mr G Hurst I'm-thirsty@drunk.com 06:16:33
Not at all, we merely have the need for a third hand...as for Darcy's, I'm sure Geogiana would oblige :)
Caroline Bingley wannabe@pemberley.com 06:18:00
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

soory, I timed out while was in the music room
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 06:24:41
WB sis! Practise is always a good thing!
Georgiana Darcy Shyness@Eeeek.com 06:26:52
WB...I'm afraid I don't recognise it.
F Darcy pemberley@derbyshire.com 06:30:36
It means I'm leaving to save my dear love's sister . Bye.
