Horatio is going to be sleeping in the back hedge!

Poor William. One gets the feeling that things are more tranquil at his house!

[esmerelda_t]

Mrs Bush won't let Lord H, Mr. K or Bartholomew in her house, she likes to keep it tranquil and chaos follows the three of them around!

Yay! Spaniel crack! Saving this for tomorrow. Bedtime for bonzo here.

[esmerelda_t]

Is Bonzo your spaniel there? Hello Bonzo! :P

[anteros_lmc]

Don't be silly. Bonzo was Ronald Reagan's monkey!

[esmerelda_t]

*blinks* Is that a euphimism?

The back hedge would be too good for him, the swine.

Love the touches of Longitude and M&C. Brilliant.

[esmerelda_t]

There were touches of Master and Commander? Where?! :P

[charliecochrane]

Are you a surgeon now as well a scientist!

Filmverse M&C, echoes Maturin's conversation with Blakeney, who wants to be a scientist and a sailor and then offers medical advice. "Are you a doctor now, as well as a sailor?"

Question is, Bartholomew going to acquire a taste for brandy?
That could lead to some more excitement in the ever volatile household !
Lord Hornblower could be feeling chilly at night for some while - he might need the rest of the brandy after all
great stuff ! Thank you very much - ideal for the end of a stressy sort of day

That is indeed a potentially worrying development, although Lord H may be kept warm by all the fire and brimstone at the temperance meetings Mr K makes him take Bartholomew too...

[anteros_lmc]

*gasp* I'm surprised Mr Kennedy didn't put the sympathy powder theory to the test on Lord H!! He's had a very lucky escape if you ask me!

I must say though, Bartholomew seems to be none the worse for the whole affair. Definitely shades of Captain Aubrey's debauched sloth there if you ask me.

[esmerelda_t]

I suspect Mr K would have been so busy with the wounding he'd forget about the powder!

A the sloth! I had forgotten about the drunken sloth!

[anteros_lmc]

I suspect Mr K would have been so busy with the wounding he'd forget about the powder!
Don't you mean "forget"? ;P
