Back home and we are reunited with Misty the cat and Islay our Westie. While we were away Islay went to my daughter, but during the long weekend stayed with friends. Here is the letter I received:
Islay – Queen of Scotland – A Letter From My Dominion
Dear subjects
This is just a brief note of to let you know that I checked into my country residence at 10am yesterday for a short stay and there were so many visitors that the gregarious nature within my personality got the better of me I’m afraid.
My reputation as a party girl was soon evident and all present adored me. After a restful night I was looking forward to my morning constitutional (s) but alas the weather did not appeal to my sensitivities and I refused, point blank to cooperate with the household routine of walking the grounds. My household personnel have now taken off to worship (it is Sunday) and so I return to my bed for comfort, lonely and forlorn.
Yours, IQS
And here is “ma’am”:
Dear Islay,
I think your reaction completely in keeping with your esteemed position. What were your subjects thinking?
From Sir Max of Montagu.
