Thank you, Mr. Brainiac. You are always so kind. Do please have some more of Aunt Ida's Special Lemonade. Perchance afterward we may want to take a walk by the river and have some riparian entertainments.

Thank you. I think Aunt Ida's lemonade is delicious as it is. She says what makes it sweet is also what gives it other properties.

Gentlemen, you know I enjoy a dalliance with Aunt Ida's special concoction, as much as the next brigand, but the time has come to set aside childish things, and as the dark lady doth beseech, "screw your courage to the sticking place." I implore you give me pause. My delightful manservant, Bryce, has embarked upon a misadventure of Homeric proportions. Not barely a fortnight ago, he said he was leaving to go cruising. I am quite beside myself with worry for his safety. Why the poor young man wouldn't know the difference between an astrolabe and a sextant.

Not at all, dear fellow. We all have different tastes. Chacun a son gout, as they say. Though I have yet to meet a gentleman who didn't fancy Aunt Ida's special elixir.

My Dear Mr. Fellow, how good it is to see you again after all this time!
Dear, dear, what a predicament. Have you not heard from Mr. Bryce all this time, then? Perhaps we should indeed "screw our courage", and set out to find him. If the poor chap is indeed in a bind, he may need us to extricate him.

Ah, Mr Fellow, I did not see you come in. It is wonderful to see you again. And fear not, we shall find your man.

Jolly well. But first, let us indulge ourselves in shopping for provisions. Off we are then, to the expedition outfitters. Pith helmets for all.

Thank you, my dear Mr. Rockhopper. I must say, I agree - that anyone would not find Aunt Ida's lemonade delicious is beyond me.

Yes, it would not do to be dressed in less than the best.
I say, these tweed jackets are simply marvelous. You must try one on. And these stout boots would fit your dashing figure quite well.

The mere thought of manservant Bryce out there without the assistance of an astrolabe or sextant fills me with a sense of foreboding.

Oh, Gracious!

My dear young man, how wonderful to see you looking so fit and so well again!
[hands IB the smelling salts]
Gentlemen, please see to poor Mr. Quislet. I shall dash to the pantry and fetch him a small nip of brandy, just in case some stronger measures are needed! I dare say the poor dear looks positively wilted!
