Watching Simon knot his tie, Lucy murmured, “My great-uncle used to have terrible nightmares.”

“Oh, my God, was I talking in my sleep? Next time I’ll remove myself.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Although I wouldn’t have minded hearing the other side of the conversation. You weren’t making a whole lot of sense.”

“I don’t wonder,” Simon said bitterly. “The dreams have never made sense. Miles and miles of midnight blue gauze smothering me. Being walled alive inside a library full of blank books.”

“The next time I sleep with you,” Lucy said gravely, “I shall bring along scissors and a pen.”

The cocktail party we hosted tonight went quite well - full house, lively conversations, and much red wine and tasty hors d'oeuvre consumed. Tonight's attempt at drafting a new poem -- well, a freewrite still counts for something. I fear it's going to take several more fizzly-fuzzy messings-around before my brain locks into the right groove. Bloody ars longa. . .

Heeheehee. Lucy has such a great sense of humor.

I think it is beyond cool you cross DiR with Wimsey. It just really is. :)
