Private Message to Linus

Do I see your splendid mane over by the punch? It's so dreadfully easy to lose track of one another in such a large ballroom!

If you are, could you be a dear and bring me some? Marvolo's nearly run me off my feet!

Were there ten thousand here tonight, still I would fight my way to your side to lay my docile head in your lap as depicted in the venerable Tarot. Or a cup of punch -- Your wish is my command, o puissant maiden fair!

I wouldn't mind if you were to lay your head in my lap really--though we'd need a bit more privacy for that!

As it is, I think a respite for some punch sounds just the thing.

That last dance has me craving punch again. Shall I get us a bit more to quaff?

It appears that others are finding some of these terpsichorean antics rather exhausting as well. Have you noticed that a number of the older dancers have decided to make an early night of it, and presumably retired to more sedentary pleasures?

Given a bit more punch, however, I daresay I could glide the floor once more with you in my arms. Give me Strength, and I shall essay any feat of derring-do tonight!
