I feel appropriately sucked up to, which of course I deserve fully."<br/><br/>I frown.<br/><br/>"Taffy's First Rule: No dying. Taffy's Second Rule: drinks and hammocks are acceptable."<br/><br/>Peter never really struck me as either fuddy or duddy, although I can imagine long term exposur might be a bit wearing. The response to Dianne is startling though, followed by rather more explanation than I'd expect. Taffy's First Conclusion: Something is Up.<br/><br/>"Hmph! Making tea better than you do is like using a bicycle better than a fish. I suppose I could survive an excursion to Maui to drink tea in the sun, if asked nicely. I've barely managed to train you so far, so it may need a long visit."<br/><br/>We continue browsing, and I wonder whether it is possible to melt the plastic being used by sheer overuse.<br/><br/>"Furs I know nothing about. Fox for me, please, or something similar, but I'm happy enough without. I've never watched anyone fur-shopping though, and am happy to watch the mistress at work or play, whichever this is.

You say Dianne is in Roissy? That name sounds familiar, but I have no idea where from. She must be very special though, you don't often change plans at the drop of a hat."<br/><br/>Close the phone, ta da, Agent Taffy in some kind of effect, with no evidence!
