And shot. Or castrated, possibly. And then he'd have a bonfire.

I don’t know if my father would go that far. But you definitely would not be welcome at Christmas dinner. So we just naturally developed from a friendship to wanting something more— leaving out the intimate details. I’m pretty sure Mama would faint if she knew I had been inside a chauffeur’s rooms.

[irishradical]

Well, that's true. How recent should this natural transition have been?

[chauffeured]

Very. No one needs to know we’ve been sneaking around for as long as we have. Even if I think Mary knows.

[irishradical]

If she does, and she were inclined to share that information, she probably would've already.

[chauffeured]

I think she’s expecting me to do the right thing or something.

[irishradical]

Which, in her opinion, is probably kick me to the curb.

[chauffeured]

It isn’t you she doesn’t like. Not that that’s any consolation. If I hear the word “eligible” one more time from anyone...

[irishradical]

You might very well end up hearing it more after this.

[chauffeured]

Then I’ll tell the lot of them where they can shove it.

[irishradical]

I don't doubt you will.

[chauffeured]

I don’t think you’ve ever doubted me.

[irishradical]

I don't see how anyone could.

[chauffeured]

Plenty of people do. I’m sure now more than ever.

[irishradical]

Yes, probably.

If I felt inclined to cut them any slack, I suppose I could say they haven't seen you like I have, but I don't feel inclined to do that at all.

[chauffeured]

You? Cut the aristocracy some slack? I must be rubbing off on you.

[irishradical]

You've done more than rub off on me, love. Quite a bit.

Not the whole lot. Just your family.

[chauffeured]

There’s an innuendo in there. I’m sure if it.

Still. I never thought I would hear you say it.

[irishradical]

Yes, there is.

Should I take it back?

[chauffeured]

You’re terrible. Never stop.

No. I’d rather hope someday we can all get over this, and I can you and them.

[irishradical]

I am, and you like it, so I won't.

I'll do as much as I can to make and keep that possible.

[chauffeured]

I didn’t expect any different. I think I’m more concerned about their reactions.

[irishradical]

Do you want to - rehearse, I suppose, what we're going to say? Leave less room for... uncomfortable openings, I guess.

[chauffeured]

I was just going to tell them. I want you to come to Christmas dinner. As my date.

[irishradical]

And if they just say no?
