I lied!
Here it is, barely a month after that last one, and I have another.

It was a dark and stormy night ...
Evinrude was in the wine cellar when the lights went out. Using his knowledge of the layout, he felt about, managed to find the right section and select a bottle, after which he carefully climbed the stairs. In the kitchen, he lit candles from the gas range, prepared a tray, then carried the tray and the now-opened bottle into the drawing-room.
"Ah, there you are, 'Rude," said the master from his chair, lit by the fireplace and the brief flashes of lightning. "Very good, old chap, you were able to soldier on despite the power outage."
The master looked at the offering his butler had brought. Realizing it wasn't one of the better vintages, he briefly considered sending Evinrude back for another bottle. Watching another flash out the window, he shrugged, accepted the glass poured for him, and settled back, saying, "Well, you know what they say, 'Rude - any port in a storm."
Muahahahahahahahaha!!!
