Lord Slimly: I feel like doing nothing today, Burnett.
Butler Burnett: O you're here. Lord Slimly!
Lord Slimly: Yes, I've been here an hour, but thank you for announcing my departure.
Butler Burnett: Anything planned?
Lord Slimly: I was just saying I don't plan on doing anything.
Butler Burnett: No change then, Sire.
Lord Slimly: Yes, you're very observant.
Butler Burnett: Tacky Jicksands is having a 'hoot-a'-noon' down at Hardjelly Hall. I'm sure
he'd be glad of another kickster turning up.
Lord Slimly: Sounds tempting, but I think I need to dust down my chess set.
Butler Burnett: Darling Bell and Tilly Toosday are currently playing draughts at the top of
Slopey Lawn.
Lord Slimly: That's quite e precipice. Are they touting it for an Olympic Sport?
Butler Burnett: Think Darling's outing Tilly's intelligence. Lady Toosday's been in sudden
shock ever since getting her Elocution paper marked with a rather rude Fail.
Lord Slimly: If we never fail we never learn to win. I myself like to fail constantly to give
me something to improve upon. Its surprising how we pick up compliments like rosettes,
us recovering failures.
Butler Burnett: Harmony of Hinterburne!
Lord Slimly: O is Harmony leaving? Think I'll leave with her. I haven't complimented her
all day.
Harmony of Hinterburne: Ah, Lord Slimly. Doing any today?
Lord Slimly: Positively nothing.
Harmony of Hinterburne: O you should come and do nothing with me then. I'm realy very
good at it.
Lord Slimly: I don't dout it! You're very experienced.
Harmony of Hinterburne: Can you DO nothing? Isn't that oxymoronic?
Lord Slimly: No, that's just Burnett. But we love him for it.
