Ahem... does no-one notice the flush upon my cheeks and the dewiness of my brow. I've just now returned from the fox hunt (no foxes were harmed), resplendent in my boots and tight breeches. Perhaps the attendant could bring me a gin and tonic with ice -- and a damp cloth for my brow.

Mr Fellows! How good of you to honor us with your company. Please forgive me for not recognizing you sooner, sir. You see when you first entered I thought that certainly this must be Adonis descended from Mt Olympus! And behold! He is flush with the dew from the rosy tipped fingers of Aurora herself!

Ah, Mssrs. Ram Boy and Fellow, please to join us. There is ample room upon the sopha for all.

Would someone kindly accompany me to the sea-side bathing machine and assist me in the donning of my bathing costume?

Don't tell me you are going to be scandelous and wear one of those that shows your ankles?

Now, Mr. Quislet, one must keep current with the times. It is perfectly respectable now-a-days to expose the ankles in one's bathing-costume.
On the other hand, should Mr. Rat be so bold as to expose his calves, I fear I should faint dead away.

I shudder to imagine what is next for today's "enlightened youth"... a bathing-costume that exposes one's navel? Why, the very idea!
I must confess that I find this bathing costume rather distasteful in another respect... when wet, the wool garment does cling too closely to the contours of my body, wholly revealing that which ought to be private.
I beg the indulgence of your opinion: do you find this aspect of my bathing costume to be a horrible affront to human decency?

Now, that I see it, I have to say "yes!" Please remove it at once! At once, I say!

I am indeed grateful for your wise counsel, Mr. Quislet.
I am also grateful that I am able to comply here, in the privacy of this gentleman's-only bathing machine. It would not do to have a member of the fair sex observe my unclothed form!
Now, can you offer me a suggestion of an alternative bathing costume that would comport with the demands of modesty?

I have always found it best to bathe au naturale when it is only me and my chums around.

I have heard of the "return to nature" movement. I believe Mr. John Harvey Kellogg is a strong proponent of those methods, which include the liberal employment of exercise and enemas.
But suppose I step into the water au naturale, and a lady should happen to wander by and espy my unclothed figure? Even if I should be partially submerged, I would imagine the sight of my bare shoulders and chest would induce gasps of shock in a member of the fair sex. How do you propose we avoid creating a scandal of such unthinkable proportions?

Forgive the intrusion, good sirs, but I had heard that this might be the place where a restless gadabout might, by chance, direct himself toward the dulcet euphonics of "His Master's Voice"?

Forgive me, is this not the "Victrola Flirting Thread"?

Ah! Dear, me!
I beg your leave. Good Day, gentlemen.

Mr. Rat,
I suggest you make use of my private bathing pond. It is in the middle of a 10 acre plot of land, surrounded by a 9 foot high fence and I employ armed groundskeepers to make sure no one of the fairer sex disturbs my bathing.
