10/28/1998: Cecily, wait!

Posted By: Henry_Carr


Surely Lenin didn't mean for you to begin your new job even before we've had a chance to find some accommodations and tidy ourselves up a bit? Who's going to sew those buttons on my waistcoat? Ulyanov, you've got your bloody nerve, couldn't spare two words for any of us while we were on the train, now all of a sudden it's Comrade Carruthers and tote my all-important appointment book while I indulge in the self-delusions of having an entire nation waiting like a tinderbox for my revolutionary spark to ignite it - yes, how d'you do, Miss - Goldman, is it, no, the last time I looked, Great Britain was not slaughtering martyrs, though I haven't been there in a few years - what Easter Uprising? - I've been busy with my duties at the Consulate in addition to the demands of playing a very challenging role recently, not Earnest, the other one -

Cecily! Come back here at once! I can't run with all this luggage and none of these bloody peasants seem to be porters! Cecily!

Blasted hell.
