Valentine: Cousin, what have you there?
Persephone: Ms. Beamlette’s Significant Other, the
estimable BF Carl, thought these might be of use to us – storage boxes quaintly
known in this country as “banker’s boxes” –
Valentine: Ah – though surely they aren’t meant solely for those engaged in the
financial professions –
Persephone: I imagine they originated there, then disseminated down to the masses.
These, I gathered, are the latest models, equipped with partitions for better
utilization of the space therein –
Valentine: How ingenious, and yet so simple –
Lytton: Well, well – that’s a fine box
you have there, Perseph. Should you be showing such
things to my innocent little brother? *snicker*
Valentine: Goodness, Lytton, you can make such a simple comment sound so – so
salacious! *blush*
Persephone: For that double-entendre, and since I am without my cricket bat, I shall
improvise with the lid, like so – **WHACK-WHACK**
Lytton: Ouch! How you do fly off the handle, over a simple observation on my
brother’s simplicity –
Valentine: “Simplicity”? And here I thought myself rather complex… or is just that
I have a complex?...
Lytton: Are you done abusing both my
head and the box lid, then?
Persephone: Be grateful I did not employ the larger portion, to send your head home
in. **bop!**
How
did such a simple word wind up with such a double meaning? Once again, don’t
ask…
Let
us move on to something *cute* and *sweet*, shall we? –
