Don't get ahead of things. Of [i]course[/i] I shall tell you why I brought such things into a House of Ill Repute."[/color] The Lord Major was trying to hold down a smile, only partially successful in the halfhearted attempt. His nephew had seen this look before in the old man; generally it meant that he was partaking in alcohol-based joviality and his next words should be taken with a grain of salt. [color=b8860b]"Of course, dear girl. Now where was I? Ah yes, into a brothel; jackass and honeycomb...[/color] He thought for a second or two, and continued, [color=b8860b]"The madame asked, "How can I help you?", and I reply that I would like to trade the Jackass for time with one of her temporary paramours, you see."[/color] Reginald looked at his audience of two, trying to gauge whether this particular story was going to offend any sensibilities or embarrass his nephew or the young lady that he had just met. The Lord Major was a Peered individual, noble and raised in Gentlemanly behavior, but at his core he was a soldier, and had been so for almost the whole of his life. Some of his "stories" leaned toward more common entertainment than the height of British Refinery. The old man was ready at a second's notice to abandon the conversation, if he detected a hint of social discomfort from his guests. For now, he continued: [color=b8860b]"I told her that I had grown tired of the jackass, and it had been quite a while since I had enjoyed a woman's touch. Graciously, the madame honored my request. Then, she asked me about the honeycomb. I responded that I would like to trade the honeycomb for some food, as it was a very long journey and I was quite hungry at that time."[/color] [color=b8860b]"Well, the madame was confused at this, and asked me why, were I hungry, did I not eat the honeycomb. I looked at her and told her - The same reason I brought the jackass."[/color]
