[quote=Anonymous]Please help me!  How can I not chuckle at 15:05 and her pal, 11:26?   11:26  is so flummoxed by 00:42's refusal to curtsey reflexively before 15:05 that 11:26 feels she must stake her reputation by assuring us that 15:05 is from a "proper" background - unlike the rest of you.  That sentence tells you everything you need to know about 11:26.  A great writer can capture a subject's essence in a few words.  11:26 is a real Henry James (If you know anything about Mr. James' world-view, you get the inside joke).  But I don't mean to sound ungrateful.  A troglodyte or two can always be counted on to provide an easy laugh.  Thank heaven that most of you who post here did not let your privileged backgrounds consign you to becoming mere toffs.  Or, more accurately, toff-wanna bes.  And I just have to ask, I can't resist: how does a little social training make kids "unspoiled?"  And does it?  When my friends went back up to school, a fair number made the point that, despite their escorts' "privileged and proper," "unspoiled" backgrounds, they seemed to view dance training as a license to forget that an escort's hand should stay where it's first firmly planted.  Or, 11:26, were they merely exercising a birthright of privileged and proper boys?  Enjoy Simpson next year.  Too bad my dds are far too old for that now.  I could use a good guffaw.[/quote]
