On illness and strange bugs

[mrdarcysblog]

As those of you who are wont to read through a Gentleman's private journal will be aware, I have not been writing much of late. This is because I have been unwell. The symptoms of the illness have been too Undignified to set down, even in this most private of journals

Dearest friend:

Although I cannot speak for the rest of your readership, I must express my own gratitude that you find yourself numbered once again among the healthy.

I cannot speak to the horror of the creature you have described and presented, for to do so would surely break the bounds of propriety in which I find myself.

With great affection,
Your crazy aunt Jennifer

My Dear Mr. Darcy,

Although it is my understanding that a proper gentleman would populate his magnificent estate with the ever spectacular peacocks, I too find myself surprised that your servants have delivered to you such an obviously different replacement.

My best wishes for your speediest improvement.

Yours kindly,
B

Sir, the cause of your recent indisposition is obvious! It's enough to put a grown man off his kippers. Your servants must be dismissed forthwith and take this wretched impostor of a 'peacock' with them!
