Dear Penny,

We are indeed, if you wish it. I shall be in the Ravenclaw common room with a tray at tea-time.

I should enjoy a ride, I'm certain. Had you in mind horses, or one of these auto-mobiles I hear so much about?

Your servant,
FITZWILLIAM DARCY

((Am working today, so I may not be able to reply quickly, but I'll pick up tags as fast as I can.))

Dear Mr. Darcy,

Then I shall see you shortly.

FAB1 is an automobile, but not the usual sort. I've no doubt you wil enjoy her.

Penny

Shortly before tea-time, Darcy arranged a corner table with a lace tablecloth, a silver tea tray and smaller trays of finger sandwiches and petits fours. The pink balloon was tied to the handle of a three-tiered tray to mark the spot.

Satisfied with his handiwork, he sat down to await Penny's arrival.

A small, snuffling, white bulldog on a pink lead heralded Penny's presence a moment before Penny herself peeked around the door. She held up a hand in greeting to Darcy, a glad smile on her face. Tracy, for her part, was far too interested in the nooks and crannies of the room to go where her mistress wanted her; so with a roll of the eyes Penny bent and tucked her wayward puppy under her arm and held out her free hand as she crossed the room.

"Mr. Darcy, how nice to see you under normal circumstances!" she exclaimed with a mischievous glint in her blue eyes. "This small rascal is Tracy, the current result of my breeding efforts on my estate. Do you enjoy dogs?"

Darcy stood and took her hand. "The pleasure is mine, Penny."

He released her hand and offered it to Tracy to sniff. "I do enjoy dogs, though I'm more accustomed to pointers and hounds. This young lady is quite lovely, however."

Penny laughed delightedly. "Compliment my dog and you've won me completely, Mr. Darcy." She looked at the table, seating herself and depositing Tracy at her feet. "Stay, girl. This all looks delightful," she added to Darcy, her glance slightly teasing. "Nothing enchanted, I presume. Shall I pour?"
