“However did you three apprehend a burglar, while simultaneously assaulting a policeman?” Aunt Dahlia demanded loudly enough to tinkle the chandelier’s crystals. She certainly beat out Constable Dimmock for volume.
“Well, Auntie D—” began Eustace, but Dahlia stopped him with a gesture, setting her gaze upon Bertie.
“You, young blot, will explain this nincompoopery!”
“We’d been to the cinema, aunt of my bosom. Have you seen ‘The Sea Hawk’? Positively the feline’s nightwear!”
“Good Lord,” Dahlia cried. “Tell me you weren’t ‘sword-fighting’ with walking sticks and stumbled upon a robber being chased?”
Claude muttered, “Well, now she’s ruined it.” I really must commend Momentarylapse8 for the lovely research into the year 1924! You spoil us terribly, old thing! Thank you!
