STOP PRESS

Two pairs of Mrs Malaprop's Jaeger stockings have disappeared off the Burrow washing line. Just after she missed them, there were plashing sounds from the river and the Beadle caught a glimpse of a kayak paddling hastily downstream.

A £50 reward is offered for any information leading to the return of these essential articles of ladylike apparel.

Sorry Anticant for that diversion but I remain serious in this dilemma of the stockings.
It seems that you imply my involvement.
Then you must substantiate yer claim because the only stockings I have nicked, seen and spent recently are stockings that have a hole ( a pure intentional hole I might add) in the nether regions.

If Mrs Malaprop owns these holy stockings I, for one, would clap my hands in support of such a wonderful idea in this 24/7 fast time economy.

Suspicious that lavender asks a question about colour?
Half way to guilt methinks.

EMMETT !
love it ! love you - and where,by the by is the photo of your pussy that you promised me ?
( Show you mine if you show me yours.....)
Also - has anyone read a book by Thorne Smith called the 'Bishop's Jaegers '? Superb...A book,now possibly out of print, sadly......but truly wonderful.
( wrote 'Nightlife of the Gods' and 'All God's Chillun's Got Shoes '.
I cannot for the life of me see Mrs Malaprop wearing 'Jaegers'.
Well, certainly not the ones that the Bishop wore, unless, as I suspect Anticant and ZoZoBear know better

Wooko, I am tempted to filch the lot and put a post round them.
Referenced, of course.

merkin, Help yerself!

OTHERWISE, As I understand it & on the basis of Beadle's Last Best, there is to be NO posting of pussy-prints in these purlieus. And, as to my cat, well, if and when, I shall put up pix of Ms Pouncer -- but not NOW, as I am at work on a grant-application for history-broadcasting money from off of the Minnesota State 2008 Sesquicentennial Committee -- gaudy lies /are/ being composed & told, but it all takes TIME, you see....

FINALLY, Aunty, Benny Raymond addresses /you/ some backchat in the following:

Done, Wooko.

Magenta....Royal Blue.....
are you sure they do not belong to the Beadle ?

The stockings were indeed a gift from the excellent Beadle, with whom I am happy to say I am on cordial terms - our favourite cordial being rum punch.

I do hope they were not,ahem,second-hand,so to speak.....

Mrs M's stockings have been found! They were in Wooffie's basket. The noble animal fancied them as a cosy lining. Mrs M is now knitting him a woollen rug. Some folk aren't half spoiled.

Wonder if the good Mrs Malaprop would knit poor ole Zola a little something for the hard coming winter.
A willy warmer is always needed up here.
What about it Mrs M?
