I say, that was one nasty little epidemic. And you, you think it clever not to keep to bottles and packaged comestibles? Certainly, then, I had been proven a fool, remaining in the company of some charming ladies, keeping to ourselves for, oh, nearly a week now...?

In possession of:
- two and a half magnums champagne
- one bottle absinthe
- fifteen fair ladies at my beck and call
- minimal coin
- an angered Earl

In need of:
- four magnums champagne
- three bottles absinthe
- tincture of opiates
- aqua regia
- discussion with one of the Hargreaveses

Merde, intricate webs....
