I say old chaps, my monacle appears to have a faint scratch on it. Awfully uncomfortable.

Will one of your servants please take it to the village repair shop for me?

I recommend the local shop old chap...it's run by a delightful couple:

My goodness both of those lovely people appear to have an excess of snuff up their noses. Perhaps I could send Snidley about with a few clean hankerchiefs for them. I believe I also have a fresh box of snuff in the sideboard that just came off the ship from the colonies- it is said to be good stuff that doesn't clog the nostril as more inferior types. I should send that round to them as well.

Gracious, Captain Dave's monocle should be veddy veddy well polished indeed after all that snuff. I do hope they'll leave enough lens for him to squinch upon his handsome, ruddy cheek.

It's a delightful Local Shop and just down the road from it is a quite splendid eatery called 'Burger me'.

I do hope that this 'Burger Me' place has proper place settings and table linens. I'd so detest my dainty fingers to be marred by foodstuffs.

I assume they employ enough punka wallahs to keep the air fresh.

Do they do a good cucumber sandwich? With the cross-cut on the diagonal and the crust cut off?

And served with the proper presentation, one trusts?


One so despairs over cucumber sandwiches mass-produced and stacked in the icebox on plastic trenchers.

Jolly good thinking. Nothing worse than having one's afternoon tea disrupted by macassers.

I find myself wondering whether the "Burger me" establishment is related to this restaurant group?

Prithee wait the carriage whilst I fetch my gloves.

At the risk of dashing your expectations, I fear the ladies are not generally invited to participate in the boxing.  Not since that unfortunate incident between Lady Florence "Psycho" Widgerley and Lord Trumpton-Riott.

Well, I never! Perchance would you change your mind if we did this:
