By the way, Pickles Mahoney? Based on anyone we know?

 

I had to quote...they did it to me last night

Thanks Emily. Us aviation enthusiasts need to stick together. 

Sounds intriguing Willet; perhaps I shall write to my good friend Santa and ask him to give you gift vouchers for the apple store. That's the technology shop, not the fruit shop of course

Pickles?! Ah she's a darling, I've grown so very fond of her over the years... she's loosely based on a combination of 3 people in my real life; myself, my mother and my best friend! She's far more scatter brained than I am, and she certainly gets around much more than I ever did that's where having a promiscuous friend comes in handy, her adventures have always inspired me!
That young Izzy there kind of reminds me of her actually...

My brain is not scattered, darling. I cannot deny that many men have desired me over the years, none more so than my dearly beloved Xavier, God rest his soul, but I am completely fine in the brain department, I can assure you.

no problem My wonga was on the Prince first...how wrong was I

I hope the brogues are stained you may have to choose some daintier shoes

Don't forget my Crabbies dear!

remind me again how ancient old he was Mrs Gonyett?

how can you forget where you put a potential murder weapon

I most certainly do but I don't recall anyone flitting with it him??

you got them last night I'm afraid

Maybe you have lost a gun recently, darling? 

And I wouldn't recommend Ms Airhead for your trick, she wouldn't see the bullet in time and I am not sure I can stand to be around more death, darling.

It's alright Emily, I have a couple of spare Brogues in my cabin, I like to colour co-ordinate my tweeds for different occasions

can you squeeze into a size 4 instead of a size 9, when I'm in your presence I find I'm a*se over heel most on  the time *trips again*

.... Are you serious! 

deadly!  although crabbies isn't as far as I'm aware

wif a brilliant brain like mine zat is always dreaming up new techniques and procedures to help ze patients, I get easily distracted 

Age is merely a number, darling, his spirit and mind were young and sometimes his body was willing. It's all a matter of appreciating what you have in life, darling and my dearly beloved Xavier gave me so very much *dabs eyes again and wishes they would hurry up and invent waterproof mascara*

 FILTH!!!! 

Lost a gun? I hope you don't think that amateurish shooting last night was done by me. I only aim for the head. And I NEVER miss

I find that rather hard to believe Herr Doctor, unless some other clues are left out on the poop deck by that dozy detective...I have one goggle on you

Depends how many you drink

Have you come up with any new techniques recently?

It's alright Emily, I have a couple of spare Brogues in my cabin, I like to colour co-ordinate my tweeds for different occasions

I must say, darling, you are awfully good at this co-ordination. I know dentists are very clever and can whiten teeth, I didn't realise they could stain them that rather strange shade of brown as well. 

My dear Mrs Gonyett you appear to be shedding more skin than tears

Here she goes

but young laydee I would hope so - I am afterall irreseeestable wiz my big bushy beard and gentle lilting tone who could resist me 

true

it looks like I am not ze only one distracted - I told you an hour ago zat I have one or two zings I am working on and hope to make a big discovery zoon 

Don't worry, Herr Doktor, once you move more than a foot away from her she won't have a clue what you are up to. Flew round the world? I don't think so darling. She probably spent 11 weeks flying across the English Channel and back.

Think you missed the hint Doc

my dear Herr Doctor... I have an uncle, Eliphat Remington who has just invented a new  product that may interest you.. it makes for a smoother skin

I have to say this had crodded my mind too.

Emily why wont you take those ridiculous goggles off seeing as they impair your vision so much!

My dear Ms Airhead, may I suggest you pay a visit to my opticians Messrs Spec and Saver, that is not skin, it is the pearls that have been hand sown on to my gown.

 but you are so funny dear laydee - verra troo but funny 

Well as I did not get any sleep last night I think I'll hit the sack.

Toodle pip all

I am insulted! The goggles are a must when flying, I am so used to wearing them now I can't seem to be without them or my Pink Peril

you Engleesh wiz your mind in ze gutter
