Darling? I do so want to see if there's a poodle this time... Or at least, someone with a lot of hair that I can make into one..."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>"I would love to join you. Have you two lunched yet?"</strong>I thanked Cheshire Cat Raul as he brought over three menus. I decided mineral water was a little boring and ordered a Ricard with lemonade and ice.<br/><br/><strong>"You still haven't made a purchase my love?"</strong>I enquired in some surprise,<strong>"You've been talking about buying a dog for months. I would have thought you'd have seen something to suit your naughty tastes by now - or have you broken them all with your 'test drives'?"</strong><br/><br/>Laurenne was notorious for her cruelty to animals, I think she almost matched me and that was saying something.<br/><br/><strong>"I've no idea if Marc has some fresh meat in or not, though he's been elusive round here for <em>simply weeks</em> so I am hoping he's been a busy boy and been doing some shopping. What about you William? Are you buying today or just soiling the goods like you usually do?"</strong><br/><br/>Raul returned with my drink.<strong>"I will have the lobster please,"</strong>I ordered,<strong>"And a Greek salad."</strong>
