( Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! )

Damn, damn, damn, da--oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

*head in hands* I am a dreadful ass.

*stares morosely at sketches of Rosa, mostly new*

This is for Mr. Raoul de Chagny, where-ever's he's hiding! *tries to stand very straight and look menacing, which is very difficult for him*

I shall challenge him to a duel for Pussy, with whatever weapon he chooses, right now! *is pretending this isn't quite as ridiculous as it sounds*

I have finished Pussy's portrait while I was away! Now, see if it isn't any good! *very proud of himself*

This is almost splendid.

Now I've got to find Pussy.
