❝ ME, sir? I’m just… carrying around non-alcoholic drinks. Although I do have mild apple and elderflower cider ━ but I suppose that doesn’t truly count. & what is it you are doing at a ‘dull’ party like this? Are you one of Mr. Hermes’ friends? ❞
“Friends? Although I’m
slightly offended — Yes.
You could definitely say
that. And my ‘ attendance ‘
was more obligatory than
anything else. I would never
willingly attend a party that
that doesn’t have WINE.”
