We really are growing exponentially, eh? Though I must say, I'm surprised to see you here! And surprise makes delight all the sweeter.
You should know that we would never be far behind on a business opportunity, Mr Wines. I see that ridiculousness has overtaken in my absence, as ever.
Yes, it did go rather pear-shaped for a little while.
Or should I say egg-shaped?
No. No you should not!Â
Mr Veils and I are in full agreement on this matter! If you would cease encouraging them, perhaps they would calm themselves!
In my defense, they were half-mad and disinclined to stop. I don’t believe they listened to what calming words I had to offer.
Tsk. You have always been far too willing to tolerate those who speak nonsense, Wines.
I’m tolerating it right now, as a matter of fact.
That is slander and falsification! I have no time to put up with nonsense, much less to speak it!
As easily toyed with as a kitten, you are! But that is why I enjoy you, all the same.
I insist that you cease and desist this at once! I will not be made sport of, and I thank you to remember that.
I have done my best, my friend! These hostilities are difficult to sort out, at best! Perhaps if you could avoid speaking with each other altogether….
That is hardly the worst of ideas, Mr Veils, and you have my gratitude for it.
