Dear Beppo

You have this way of making everything seem rather rude, Zabini, although I can't quite put my ghostly finger on what it is.

[coolasblaise]

Really? Do try, Regulus.

[favourite_son]

*laughs lightly*
Indeed you do, as I'm sure you're very well aware.

*casually*
And the thing with having ghostly fingers is that you can never be quite sure if you really have got your finger on something.

[coolasblaise]

*raises eyebrow, tilts head*

Oh?

*smiles*

And where have you put your ghostly fingers, Regulus?

[stagboy]

Who's Lord Chesterfield then? Should I know the name? Being dead does make it difficult to keep up with society, but I never bothered that much when I was alive.

[coolasblaise]

*shrugs*

An eighteenth-century statesman and a man of letters. Not recent society, precisely.

[stagboy]

Different to G.K. Chesterton? When was he about then? He wrote about Queer Trades didn't he? Or am I too drunk?

[coolasblaise]

*raises both eyebrows*
*keeps them raised for a few minutes*

Has anyone ever told you you are a philistine?

*lowers eyebrows*

Quite different.
