"Fair"

By Lady_Lancaster, May 18, 2010

When Hyacinth learns that the church Ladies Committee is holding a special luncheon and that the guest speaker is going to be a retired naval officer, she volunteers herself and Richard to go and get The Commodore from the railway station.

Reluctantly, the chairwoman of the committee agrees and Hyacinth and Richard set off to collect the guest. Railway official are at a loss to know what to say when Hyacinth demands a red carpet and other such illustrious treatment for the guest but that's not the worst of it because they aren't actually able to FIND The Commodore in spite of singing seas shantys and waiting for ages.

When they return, minus their passenger, they find that the luncheon has just finished and that The Commodore gave an excellent speech! Feeling furious but not intending to be left out, Hyacinth insists that she and Richard will drive the guest BACK to the station to catch his train but she has second thoughts when his hands begin to wander in unacceptable places.moreless
