Hope everyone had a very happy Christmas! I think I've got a good load of sailing (and writing thank-you notes) ahead for the next year

Pierced ear, lovely?

[jollygoodform]

The right one. I think it'll look rather dashing, don't you?

[repairedbywebs]

Rather like the Corinthian, only younger.

I can do it.

[jollygoodform]

The Corinthian? I don't believe I've ever met him before.

Really? Thank you, Saya! I can pay you for the job, too. I know you've got rent to pay, same as anyone. And I've already picked out the earring.

[repairedbywebs]

No, I don't believe you would have.

Of course. However, I don't pay rent, you realize.

[jollygoodform]

He doesn't find much company in children?

You don't? I didn't know.

[repairedbywebs]

Not particularly, no.

I live in a warehouse. No one would expect me to.

[jollygoodform]

Well, most of us are right awful bullies, I don't blame him. Jas used to say that there was no demon or devil like an Etonian colleger.

And no leasing fees either?

[repairedbywebs]

I see.

No, none at all.

[jollygoodform]

So the Corinthian, how does he look, in your opinion? What sort of earrings is he fond of?

Good form, that!

[repairedbywebs]

He's handsome enough, but he is quite homosexual, you realize.

He prefers silver hoops.

[jollygoodform]

He's a fop?

Is silver better-looking than gold, do you think?

[repairedbywebs]

Yes.

Silver is quite a bit better, in my opinion, but perhaps I am biased. All my rings are silver.

[jollygoodform]

Well, to each his own, I suppose.

Are you warding against werewolves?

[repairedbywebs]

Warding? Not precisely.

But if I have to hit one, I'll leave a ring in them. Like with Miss Anita.

[jollygoodform]

I remember hearing about that. She's Mr. Zeeman's wife, we've never met.

Maybe I ought to go with silver, then. In any case, it would come in handy in places that gold wouldn't.
