I much regretted my inability to attend the opening of the Court, but hope for other opportunities to enjoy its elegance, culture, and personalities.
Yo regreto mucho que yo no puedo visitar la ceremonia, pero espero las opportunidades en la futura.
His Highness's chandelier has certainly brightened my dining-room, and so elegantly.
And other good historical ones as well - make sure you take a good look all around the SL10B venue! I meant to explore for only twenty minutes last night, and in the end went to bed much later than intended. (Lower lag after midnight!)
Such a shame - all those attractive gentlemen of elevated title, so terribly distracted by those tiresome maps. Not one of them had his eye on the Duchess's elegant neckline, or indeed on my own. Of course I did not expect an eye from Wellington, but some of the others I expected to be more observant. And their wives sometimes accuseme of poor breeding - !
The roast pork was excellent, however, and the champagne very effective in its proper task.

I will be draggi - I mean, encouraging my lord to survey your selections very soon, M. Beaumont.
I have already spirited my free gown out of the foyer, and am enjoying its vibrant red and soft golds at this very moment.
We are offering a few more things at the booth as well - art and elegant dancing to the sound of harp and clavichord upstairs in our ballroom, counterbalanced by what I fear is rather a rough tavern run by our, um, well-armed fishing population on the ground floor - and somehow, miraculously, our local merfolk have transported part of their seas, along with their own dances, into the cupola at the top.
I look forward to hearing about some of the other SL10B booths those in this forum are rushing to finish before Friday's opening of the fte.
Citrus topiaries. My villa in Mont Saint Bruno needs citrus topiaries. And my balcony absolutely requires lavender. Mme. Varriale, you seem to have convinced me that another shopping expedition is needed.
Azur is the colour to which I am particularly susceptible, Mme. de Fiennes. My lord will be most grateful for your modest pricings.
Myself, I suspect it might be a small piece of local dialect that finally fell entirely into disuse, perhaps a local borrowing from the Gaelic into English given the recipe's origin in Limerick.
I admit to sharing Lady Fandango's curiosity about the composition of this "yellow scurk." I must pay more attention to my surroundings when next I encounter such a wall, in order to divine what this scurk may be!
