Me: *Walks past, double take*
Me: Your Lordship?? What are you doing back already? You just left?
The Patrician: No madam, I enlisted the aid of Charlie. He attended this... "Prom" in my stead. I felt it unwise to leave Mr Fusspot to your care
Me:Hey! Wait a minute ...Oh... Ye Gods!
The Patrician *politely enquiring face* Yes I am aware this may lead to... political ramifications but this will be a test of Charlie's mettle; I was fascinated by his reaction to the cup of "Water" he was given
Me: You knew Drax doped it??
The Patrician: Of course, one doesn't graduate from the Assassin's Guild in Ankh-Morpork without some awareness of ...poisons
Me:But! I saw you drink it!
The Patrician: Oh yes... but you see I've spent the past 5 years in Australia building up a tolerance to Iocaine powder
Me: Derp
The Patrician: *Monologue time* I await the return of Charlie and his... companions with interest, it shall be instructive to deal with the fallout. Lady Margolotta shall be most amused though I fear some form of compensation to Lady Hazel may be in order... Hmm perhaps it wasn't wise to leave those two under the charge of an.. Well Charlie
