I donât know what she was drinking, but the girl on the right just saw a white rabbit saying âIâm late, Iâm late, for a very important date!â
âEloise, I want you to hit this ball as hard as you can. Think about how you felt when you found out your husband had a mistressâŚâŚthatâs the spiritâŚ..knock it to Toledo!â
Mmm, according to Wikipedia, Edgeworth Castle is a country house in Edgeworth, Gloucestershire, England. Itâs also mentioned in the Domesday Book. Drat! Now Iâll have to see if I can find the Domesday Book and look up the reference. (I bought one years ago, but I think I gave it to my sister and donât know what she would have done with it.)

The young maidens learned many things upon enrolling in the âArt of Marital Blissâ class, but no other lesson captured their interest and vigor quite like the chapter on âBall Busting.â

Margaret watched as Mary swung for the winning wicket, oblivious to the fact that Jacqueline was a very sore loser.

/// Croquet Players found bashing balls boring,
so the regular rules theyâre ignoring.
To have won, one must show
just how low she can go.
Limbo under a mallet for scoring.

The woman in red is foolish enough to try to break it up. While the woman in purple and white is smart enough to duck.

These sisters, love to compete/
And they do so whenever they meet/
They win by deceit/
And theyâre d@nged h@rd to beat/
For they win by deceit/
And all of them happily cheat.///
Croquet ainât the only game/
Which they play without conscience or shame/
They are hot, and theyâre haughty/
And theyâre nice when theyâre naughty:/
They grew rich on their house of ill fame.

âWeâre just going to go out for a drinkâ, we said. It turned into an epic night of midnight croquet, and Emily getting sick in a potted plant.

Poor Sally had no situational awareness whatsoever, thus causing Mary to have to duck with little warning.

Friday:It began as a walk in the park/
But it suddenly turned rather dark/
She had hoped to be pardoned/
But his attitude hardened/
When she made her ill-chosen remark..///
When they met on the edge of the town/
She hadnât been planning to drown/
But the rabbit was dead/
And he swore not to wed./
They discovered her floating face down..
