There's been a Thing.
It was all that professor's fault.
After his last visit, I decided to try out some of the whisky. Normally my preferred drink is warm and red but he likes the Islay malts so I thought I'd give it a go. I usually keep some here just in case he visits. I get so few repeat visitors it's worth nurturing the few that come back.
It was like drinking smoke, and then fire. It has a strange effect on the mind and especially on the eyes. Everything looks attractive. Even Senga.
Anyway, there was a Thing and now it appears Senga expects me to marry her as a result.
The trouble is, Leg-iron cleared off with Mother's wedding veil and I have to get a new one. It's important. Very important.
Senga really needs a veil. Preferably a steel one, bolted permanently to her head.
Like Mother's.
