Family obligations are such a pain. If I never have to lay eyes upon Scotland again, I shall die a happy man.

Well, I'm sure your uncle would have liked knowing you were there.

[cons_detective]

Yes. My uncle, who is no longer capable of anything more than decomposing, was certainly thrilled at my attendance to his wake.

[jumperfkr]

Well, your mum seemed happy to see you there.

[cons_detective]

How dare you. Do not bring my mother into this.

[spelt_with_a_g]

Mater was thrilled to see you both.

I do wish you hadn't said what you did to Cousin Germaine though.

[cons_detective]

Every word of it was true, and it was nothing to cry over.

[spelt_with_a_g]

Yes but you really shouldn't blurt things out over tea and sandwiches. The poor man didn't know where to put his face. Which I suppose, in a sense, was the problem to begin with. But still.

[cons_detective]

And people accuse me of faulty table manners. I can't believe we're even related to such a cretin.

Then again, he's a product of Chadwick's and his horrible wife, so I suppose it's to be expected.

Family is family, mate

Least you got a free meal out of it?

[cons_detective]

Dull.

[not_thatbill]

Blood's thicker than water and all that rot

Welcome back though, man, anything fun happen while you were off with John?

[cons_detective]

No. It was absolutely dreadful and I refuse to ever set foot in Scotland again.
