Although
it has only been a day since my last diary entry, it
feels like much more time has passed. Weeks, even. This
morning, I received a mysterious phone call while the
Master was away at his new coffee haunt in The Town. "Stately Luthor
Manor," I answered the phone, as is my wont.
"'Ello! Dear
boy, is this Lex?"
"If this were
Lex, I would be trying to find a way to remove my own
tongue and lick my head with it."\par \par
"..."
"Hello?"
"Ah. Yes.
Well, I'm trying to ascertain a shedyule [I know he was
trying to say 'schedule,' but he said it all fruity
tooty, just like that] for Mr. Lex Luthor."
"The Master?
What do you want with the Master?"
"Ah. Yes.
Well, I er... I'm from a magazine. A very British
magazine. Um. Bald Fox Hunters Quarterly. It's called
that because it is a quarterly magazine. About fox
hunters. Who are bald."
"I'll alert
the Master --"
"No! I mean,
we want it to be a surprise. You know, like a surprise
English fox hunt! Oh yes, how fun!"
"I don't
really..."
"Could you
just tell us if he'll be at the museum opening this week?
We have a... fox... that we'd like to surprise him with.
A quarry, yes, wot wot, and such."
"What
what?"
"No. Wot,
wot."
"What?"
"Exactly."
"Huh."
"So, will he
be there?"
"Yeah, I mean
he's hosting the damn --"
"Great! Thank
you! Cheerio!"
And then he hung
up. I hate British people. They think they have the best
manservants in the world. But you know what? They don't.
I wish the Master
was home. My tongue is getting soggy.
