Lady Goldberry, sir?


Ah! She told me that the gentleman would ask. She said that she knows how to take care of herself and that the gentleman worries too much about her...

She is in the Game Lounge, sir.

Oh, no, sir, she is not playing poker with Dr. Zaius. She wouldn't. Not since last time, sir.

No, I don't know what kind of a game it is, but it looks very lively. Lady Persephone and a few other ladies are over there with her, and they are all speaking French, and having a great deal of fun. No I couldn't join them, sir. I wanted to, but apparently it doesn't appear that I meet the proper requirements---whatever that is, sir. I have no idea what they mean.

Lady Goldberry? Oh, sure, sir, she is quite qualified: very "comme il faut." That's what they say, sir.

Sir? Where are you going, sir?

  1. Dr Zaius is in the game room? I'll join him. Is Germaine here too?

  2. Lady Gregarious has no time for games. She is fighting the good fight, that's what I heard, Ma'am. Lady Gregarious and Dr. Zaius have been busy lending their support to the Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women in their fight against a bunch of thugs who are beating up women for publicly drinking and going to bars, Ma'am!!! Or wearing clothes that these fanatics deem too revealing.

  3. Lady Gregarious is indeed fighting the good fight. I've admired her for a long time. Our loss is the world's gain.

  4. Loss, Ma'am?

    Forgive me, Ma'am---how rude of me---I was momentarily distracted by the game those Ladies are playing. Who wouldn't? And...er...as it was, my thoughts were wandering to such abstract notions as the time evolution of physical processes, and...er...the law of dynamics... That is to say... There are laws, you see, which describes how systems respond to changes in their surroundings. The laws of Dynamics, for instance, concern themselves with the relationship between motion of bodies and its causes, namely the forces acting on the bodies and the properties of the bodies (particularly mass and moment of inertia).

    I must say that the get-up-and-go kind of energy demonstrated by the Ladies therein leaves me speechless. Ahhh...and I can tell that the gentlelady is just dying to join them. You know you do, Ma'am. Don't let the people watching us stand in your way. Did you know, they claim that there is no such a thing as loss. They say energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms?

  5. I'd be delighted to give any of those ladies a hand, if it wouldn't be cheating.
