Ah yes, leave it to a committee to stuff things up. I love the dream-wine idea, and Sarah's amusement at the side effects :)

*snerk* Loved this and all the P&P references! The goblins didn't do such a bad job after all...

For the sake of authenticity, I had to re-watch P&P while writing this ficlet. It may have come through, just a little. :-)
