Spinning Compass Comunications

We should host an Easter dinner on Sunday for everyone, and we need to pick a date for our ball.

Can we set aside some time tonight to talk? It's a good talk.

[This is a perfectly rehearsed performance, very deliberately broadcast. She is singing a tune from an old French opera. Her voice is pleasant enough, and it has an innocent, naive air to it, and even a slight lisp. This contrasts a little ridiculously with the adult themes of the song.]

Flamme vengeresse,
Tourment qui m'oppresse,
Amour qui sans espoir me laisse,
Tu vois ma faiblesse,
Hélas pauvre abbesse,
Devant toi mon pouvoir s'abaisse.

Rends à mon cœur le calme et la paix!
Toi qu'hélas autrefois je bravais.
Flamme vengeresse....


[The phone is pulled away from her, and Edward Rochester's voice is heard, speaking to her in French]

Enough, Adele. No one wishes to hear you warbling so.

We're going on an adventure tomorrow. To another planet!

Hello,

As I’m sure some of you know, it is Ashley’s birthday on Monday. It is the last day before the door closes, and I would very much like to treat you all to an afternoon in Matlock, which is a nearby spa town. You can pick whatever treatments you like, and then there is afternoon tea included as well.

Please let me know if this sounds agreeable to you. My sister, Georgiana, will be able to assist if you require appropriate attire.

Best wishes,
Fitzwilliam Darcy.

[I've been reading. I found the most wonderful manual on how to use this phone machine, a book about Coney Island and a book about Kathmandu. There's a place in Kathmandu called the Kaiser Library. It was once a grand palace and now the whole castle is a library. It's says in the books that it was partially destroyed in 2015 but the door is to 2011. It should be beautiful. 2011! Did you ever imagine seeing such a year? We must go.]
