well boss

mehitabel has come home
she
has been spending the last week
in the company of a
parisian sot called grantaire
but she says he has since been
shot dead

archy she said to me
i am ever a lady and a lady spends time with disconsolate gentlemen
even drunk disconsolate gentlemen
besides he could tell i was royalty
after all archy
i was once cleopatra
it s nice to see someone like him who shows me
the proper respect

i think boss that mehitabel
is deluding herself in this matter
parisians will say anything
to get a lady
