Good morning.

Our next town hall meeting will be on Saturday, March 26th, 3pm at [location].

Attendance is not mandatory in any way, but everyone is very welcome. We will not be doing any lengthy introductions this time, but if anyone has not attended before and would like to introduce themselves to the community, you are encouraged to do so.

If anyone would like a copy of last month's minutes, you can let myself or ~~Miss~~ ~~Citizen Becket~~ Liberty know and we can arrange that.

I have noted already that we will be hearing from Applejack regarding agricultural needs, and Dr Cuddy will be speaking on behalf of the medical staff. If anyone else has any points for discussion they would like raised, you can let myself or Katherine know in advance and it will be added to the order of business to ensure we cover it. There will be time set aside for open discussion, so don't worry if you don't get your point 'in' on time.

Maryanne, are you able to provide snacks again?

Maria, are you able to set up the holographic interpreter again?

- Alexander Hamilton.

Oh, lovely.

You see, you understand me perfectly. This hysteria and melodrama is exhausting. If they were men in my regiment I would tell them to make a peace or take it outside and finish it, I certainly wouldn't allow them to continue to make such a ridiculous scene. But what can you really do with a couple of hysterical women except continue to appeal to their good nature to desist? God, you'd think a husband or a father, or indeed a cousin, would step in and remove them before any worse harm comes to them.

Oh, but breathe a word of that to the modern sort and suddenly you're the problem and the social pariah.

I'm sorry, I needed to get that off of my chest, apparently.

I'm sorry that we won't have a pleasure of meeting each other's wife and family, but I think we can agree that it is the lesser of two evils. Even if I miss her like hell today. It would be heartening to think I might pop home for supper and rest. No matter, we'll have our drink and put the world to rights.

There is no need to apologise. I understand it very well. It's disconcerting to see grown women with children of their own behave that way. I thought at first that it was the proper thing to try to stand in for the ladies' absent relatives when they seem troubled, but if they haven't any respect for you then it's a fool's endeavour.

Ah, yes. If these women want to be treated like men, they should at the very least behave accordingly. Even a boy knows not to make that sort of ridiculous scene, but, as you say, to settle a disagreement one way or or another. Quite honestly, even if one of my little girls flew into such an absurd passion in my presence I'd send her back to the nursery and tell her she wasn't fit for polite company.

Yes, very good. What's said over drinks stays there, with no 'modern' people's sensitive souls to fret over, if that's some small comfort. One needs to speak honestly sometimes.
