And Sir Bruce Poppencock would have been like, "I say, missus, you're very fanciful with your ideas today." To which Mrs. P. responded, "Why, Master P., you've made up a word! What year is it? I do believe it's circa 1627! Let's carve the year--we think --on a stone so no one forgets. Fanciful ! Dear man, you are a genius. I'm so glad my father forced me to marry you and allow you to impregnate me every year.
