indeedsir_backup | Aunt Dahlia At Totleigh Towers

What Ho, There!

I had an idea tonight (yes, scary, I know) and the one person I mentioned it to (*cough

chaoschick13 cough*) didn't think it was a stinker, so I'm offering it to the Ladies and Gents of

indeedsir to see what they (that would be you) make of it.

In "Bertie Wooster Sees It Through", there's a passage where it's mentioned that Aunt Dahlia gets a little destructive when she's really worked up. In the course of the plot, there's a paragraph mentioning a specific incident in the past. I'm going to retype that part (narrated by Bertie) below and then explain further:

"When deeply stirred, she (Aunt Dahlia) is always inclined to kick things and throw things. At Totleigh Towers, during one of our more agitated conferences, she had cleared the mantelpiece in my bedroom of its entire contents, including a terra cotta elephant and a porcelain statuette of the Infant Samuel in Prayer."

EDIT: You'll see below that I didn't connect the dots between this and another incident (shame on me) and was pipped at the post, as it were. In the spirit of good sportsmanship, I'm rallying around and mustering up a substitute. As was also commented below, we can still make something of it. Let's change it to something more general, then.

Challenge: How about a dust-up between Bertie and Aunt D, comedy, angst, fluffy, or whathaveyou, any who're interested, take them for a spin and see what comes of it. You're a talented passel of beazels and coves, as I said before, and I'm sure there could be a couple of nifty things out there in this vein.
