(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Your cousin has terrible taste.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: But this author does not.
A bit later
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Redhead in off-shift-gypsy regalia is apparently engaged to passably attractive boy who seems never to have seen a book shop from the inside but has thrilled most in attendance by not being imaginary. Much excitement in Little Happening.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Oh the plot thickens like a fine soup. Anyone get eaten yet? Frogs from the sky? French bombardiers circa WWI?
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Alas no, nothing but suggestions of mild interpersonal drama and terrible sartorial choices, with few exceptions. That author knows a good tailor when he finds one, though. Too much to hope it's someone local, I'm sure, particularly given the accent...
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Ooh where is he from?
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Public school. 😉 My guess, at any rate. Fairly RP, sounds rather like me actually.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: But not nearly as acerbic and likable I imagine
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: 💖
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Well, I should hope not. What would I have left but my pastry?
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Of course it is VERY good pastry.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth:😉
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: I'll let you know when I find out. What I think of him, that is. Not what else I could lay claim to.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: I'd say style but I would absolutely steal those wingtips. I wonder where he found them. Hm. Perhaps I ought to be threatened.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Well for what it's worth I still like you better
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: You'd better. I have dibs.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: All yours. You know that
A good deal later
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Sadly, did not get a chance to find out. Some other time, perhaps. But for now, of course, still champion.
