Partying is such sweet sorrow.

Dear Ed,

Now your advertisement did not mention free samples!

When it comes to strutting or stropping, and I try to do neither. I always feel rather foolish when it comes to strutting and am not able to maintain a suitably serious composure, and I learnt a few years ago that stropping could end up with me not be hurt.

That being said, if a little strop is required to qualify for your demonstration I will do my best to oblige.

I enclose a copy of my measurements, perhaps in more detail than is often given, but there are times I like my clothing to fit snuggly, so both accuracy and completeness are important. I can assure you that even the thought of the slave girl’s outfit is ‘amusing’ me, and every so often that thought merges with the thought of your riding crop, and I become very ‘amused’.

I can see that not only do you take your work seriously, but you also enjoy it, and I am thankful that I spotted you in H & B.

Yours sincerely,

cariad
