"Hi," he said, with devastating originality, "What do they call you?"This being the 18th century and she being a well-brought up heroine, she replied formally "You are too forward, sir! We have not been introduced!" but then, such was her heart aflutter, she quite forgot herself and began a sentence with a conjunction!! "And if you would be so kind, sir, as to remove your hand from its current indecorous position? A mere quarter-inch to the left, perhaps, quite slowly, for the sake of propriety?"Ballnard apologised profusely, stood up and bowed. "Ballnard Weird Fingers, criminal at large, at your service, ma'am.""Oh, are you of the Devonshire Ffyngers? You perhaps are acquainted with my aunt, Lady Hortense House of Grumbling Place? I am Miss Terri House-Trainger, a poor relation with but five pounds a year and in want of a husband."
