But now I have to go reread Part 4, Chapter 8 again having now read the necessary prerequisite. I'm sure it will make a lot more sense now. :)
If the Chancellor of the Exchequer could see the invoices for these undercover ops he'd probably suffer a cardiac arrest. For a start, the teddy bears would have to be Steiff at the very least, and purchased at (where else?) Harrods rather than Hanleys. (Note the subtle use of the word 'purchased'; persons of this ilk don't 'buy' things, they 'purchase' them---very Hyacinth Bucket.) Then, teddy bears fully loaded and primed, into the fray!
It seems this chapter should have been before the previous one, unless it was your intention to show how everything led up to the Sinn Sisters arriving at Wonderland... after the team has recovered the stolen picture. Either way, this was another magnificent update. The puns and references were great throughout. Pixie even got her well-deserved cummies. Oh, and Annie holding the fucking teddy bear made me laugh out loud.
I guess it had to happen at some point - you are right, but I am glad it did not spoil the story.
You are, alas, right, but I am glad the mix up did not spoil it x
Somehow I don't see Mel as the next Baldrick, nor Miss Sinn as Blackadder.
