There were three of them, all shorter than the last, so that standing beside one another they reminded me of a Matroskha doll being unpacked, albeit with a lot less colour and a lot more facial hair. I wondered then, would everyone in the castle have whiskers better than mine?

"They called him Vlad Rasul, Vlad the Shaved, on account of his hairless face. Unable to grow any whiskers, not even a fuzz to rival that on his wife's upper lip, he went insane and slaughtered his enemies by impaling them on barbers' poles."

"How does such a creature come into being, you ask? By will and will alone, and a little bit of black magic, and blood, lots of blood, and also a special tonic concocted by the Devil himself!" Van Kapsel said.

I noticed his moustache cast no shadow upon the wall, even though it seemed by the hour to grow in length. I put this down to the long hours of travel and my barely concealed addiction to laudanum. But still, it bothered me.

I blush to think of it now, Mona, but the Count's brides exposed themselves to me from knee to ankle. The only saving grace was that their parts were covered in such a dense shag of fur that my nethers barely fluttered.
My nethers, as always, belong to thee, my love.

Upon arriving at the inn, I immediately noticed an oddness about the villagers gathered there. Man, woman, and child were clean shaven. Not a shadow marked the skin of them, even so long in the day and far removed from morning ablutions.

Dearest Mona,
I hear the Count's brides at night as I fall to sleep. Such terrible cries emanate from them throughout the castle. Ooooh, and owww, and others that I do not have the vocabulary, nor the supply of ink to fully explain.

I ate the éclair greedily, pausing only when a small dollop of cream escaped the confectionary and tainted the hair of my upper lip. I reached up to wipe it away, but the Count stopped me. A devilish lust flashed into his eyes, as if he'd seen the exposed ankle of a lady.

The count wore a moustache of such fearsome countenance, I feared my heart would stop in its very presence. Such beardery was an affront to God himself, and also made me question my own whiskers, as slight as they were.

I have to go to the land of the dead known as a supermarket, so I need some musical protection. Jello will do. :D
Strength thru shopping
Make my day
Obey the call of the consumer
Give me convenience
Or give me death
Before I choke myself

When she looked at him, it was like trying to find the hidden image in a magic eye picture. She'd seen something in the past, but now, no matter how hard she tried, there was nothing there.

Cooking with Columbo arrived, and it had a photograph of Columbo inside it with a message on the back. I bought it off eBay, previously owned, and I always feel a little sad when I get a book with a personal message meant for someone else.

I'm having beans on toast for tea. As a British person if I don't have beans on toast at least once a month, I will be arrested and sent to the Bramwell legume re-education camp.
