I have been hearing the most terrible things about a great gala, thrown by Dolly St. James and Liadán Ó Móráin for St. Mungo's on New Year's Eve. Even disregarding this most appealing and surprising of partnerships, I am completely appalled that this news did not come from your own pretty lips. What's more, I have not even been asked to help. Did I or did I not send you the behind-the-scenes photos from my shoot with Tapendra? Design a battlegown in one night for your last press conference about Wiedman? Valiantly drink the last bottle of Abernathy's Dark to save you from alcohol poisoning, and then mix you my very own Magnificent Morgan hangover cure? What is our friendship worth, I ask you!Please respond soon. This is quite urgent. Misa says my heartsick weeping is scaring the customers.

You were so preoccupied, besides I didn't have anything interesting to talk about besides the long suffering death of my childhood dream to become Mrs. Dolly St. James-Wiedman. It wasn't until yesterday Liadan and I had a proper sit down to discuss details. Anything you've heard at this point is pure speculation.Now dry those pretty eyes while I fill you in. She came to me after brunch on my birthday, we had a lovely little chat, and she requested my help. I, of course, was most astonished because Liadan has been nothing if not vocal about the fact she finds women like me to be the worst sorts of witches. Of course when one topples from grace so rather spectacularly as Miss Ó Móráin did...I apparently add legitimacy to her plans. Obviously I couldn't refuse, Hannah Bombay might have to bedside manner of a sardine but Mungo's did keep me breathing after the Troubles in March.As of now it's just a few rough ideas on my part, but I had every intention of asking you to donate a few select items from your latest collection to the silent auction... as well as your person. You know how terribly bored I get at most things, so I'm working on wearing Liadan down and allowing a date auction. No meat market of course, that would be tacky and beneath me, but something private, with secret identities and hopefully dashing bachelors because it is high time I face facts and call it quits with Roiser. Pretty trinkets can only make up for so many missed dates.Dry your eyes, I do need your help after all.

My god. If I didn't know that Liadan was as straight as the silver on Merlin's whiskers I'd say your womanly wiles have done it again. I never received such a very nice tip. Oh, but what a relief it is to be able to clutch you close to my bosom again without fearing the insidious poison of unspilled gossip! All my other sources are at best, sub-par.Date auctions are my favorite, so I suppose there's something worth carrying on for after all. Bachelors and bachelorettes? Man can't live off man alone, you know. Tell me your delicious plans - more than just the usual socialite suspects, I hope. If you need help scouting, I am ever at your command.Piqued and Intrigued, Skip to next post Re: If You Don't Believe This Lie is True [Dolly, December '09] Reply #3 on February 07, 2013, 07:42:25 PM Dolly St.James#17 Little London SquareLondonDarian MorganLibertine Ltd.Diagon Alley London, UKDecember 5th, 2009Darling Darian,My wiles work on everyone. It's quite hard to resist my charms, really the biggest thing that got in the way of Liadan being able to stand me was the fact she didn't actually know me. Of course that begs the question if an enigma such as myself can every really be known. It's highly suspect but we seem to have gotten past our differences and are moving on quite nicely. And don't be silly with your foolish talk of only Bachelors. Of course not, I couldn't have any fun if it was just for men. I have gotten a few of the healers involved and I'm going to guilt Tappy into it of course, and Melanthe has volunteered. Liadan won't be participating of course but she's been kind enough to give me free reign. I'm trying to get Nola and her drummer on the list. I owled her about performing but she declined, said something about her bandmate having plans that night. I don't know what could possibly be more important than playing a benefit for St. Mungos - I mean the press release writes itself. Only an idiot would turn that chance down. She did agree to auction herself off at least. I want to do something in line with my public persona for the date obviously. I've really been neglecting that image; why we haven't gone out and gotten into trouble together for absolute ages! We should really fix that Love. My life is so boring when I'm writing books and playing house. I did have a very interesting afternoon tea with your darling Aunt a few days ago. She made me promise not to let you whisk me away and marry me before the holidays were over. Apparently Tarron's heart couldn't take it. I have to be on my best behavior around the old man now. I was thinking you should do something international for your date. Perhaps an afternoon exploring the Champs Élysées? It will sound much more romantic coming from you of course because all things do. That tone you use when speaking French would melt even the stoniest of women into a pliable little puddle at your feet. If we ever had a child I'm quite sure they'd take over the world. It's a good thing the idea of birth terrifies me so. Now, I'll need you to design me something divine for my night out. I can't have the girls at Signature looking more tempting than I do.Write soon, or better yet come have a drink with me!

It was getting rather dull nodding along whenever she went on about how shameless you were. I have no idea how she could stand me if she didn't like you - but then, that's society for you. She still thinks I'm off engaged in high hell and buggery, too.Oooh, two of my favorite people. (After you, of course, o most rapturous lady of mine heart.) Don't worry! There's plenty of time to hire another band. In fact we could inquire after one during our next evening trawl - that is what you're suggesting with all that backwards talk of missing me and our little evening dates, no? We'll get up to something really scandalous to put you back in the gossip rags again. Shouldn't be too hard. I haven't done anything properly fun for weeks.But an elopement! That would do it for sure. Tarron's heart can't take most things; I wouldn't let that influence you in any particular way. Merlin knows I never do. Dolly, would you like to elope with me?That's a good idea, going to France. A little more exciting than just a normal dinner out, but not so much that it seems I'm promising anything more. How glad I am to have your support in presenting me in the very best light! But please don't talk about birthing. It gives me the shivers in a bad, bad way.Flowers, kisses, good booze, etc, Skip to next post Re: If You Don't Believe This Lie is True [Dolly, December '09] Reply #5 on June 01, 2013, 07:36:22 PM Dolly St.James#17 Little London SquareLondonDarian MorganLibertine Ltd.Diagon Alley London, UKDecember 8th, 2009Darlingest of Darlings,I wont even make joke about whether or not it ever crossed your mind to tell her to shut up when she was on about what a Harlot I am. She's got this hilarious double standard for men and women. I'm quite sure she thinks you're just sewing your wild oats before settling down - which men are supposed to do but women are not. Don't you know anything about ridiculous pureblood stereotypes?! I jest of course. This planning is going to drive me mad. I have little old women sending me terrible owls full of suggestions that nearly put me to sleep just reading! And given that statement I am quite sure I need a night out, so yes. We're going trawling. Be sure to wear glitter.An elopement! I thought you'd never ask - but darling if we elope how is everyone going to see me in the fantastically scandalous dress you'll design for me? Obviously it can't be white - can you imagine what people would say. I was thinking something in a bright crimson, poo poo on old house colors because I am not getting wed in green I can tell you that much for certain. Maybe I'll just wear a large feather fan and you can dress like a morbid ringmaster and our witness can be a monkey!

Cor she's an old cow Darian. I hate her, hate her, hate her, hate her! Now I feel a little better. I feel like if we talk about insults we will end up in the circular logic of "do you bite your thumb at me Sir" "I do bite my thumb Sir". Also did you just imply I'm getting fat because I need a big fan? Come drink with me. I don't care that it's eight in the morning. We can have wine for breakfast, there's grapes in there somewhere and that is fruit, and fruit is for breaky.
