In blessings and curses
And ever-filled purses
In prophecies, witches and knells."

Anne? Would you be interested in having a girls' night? There's a concert that I think you might be interested in...

Why, hello dear. It's Pru isn't it? I would dearly love to attend a concert. Would it be Mozart or perhaps a comic opera ? I am in the mood for something light and frivolous.

I can't promise Mozart or a comic opera, but light and frivilous, sure :)

You used to love my singing William. Do you remember taking me to the Theatre in the Strand to see HMS Pinafore? That was such a gay operetta, all those handsome sailors. . . And you were quite enamoured of the young lady who played Josephine if I remember correctly.

Well, yes, she was rather fetching. *sly grin*

You, ah, you might want to watch bandying about the word "gay," however. It's rather taken on an entirely different meaning in the past few decades.

Really dear boy? Why should I be careful with its use? Would I offend anyone? Do tell me.
