Julia99,
Perhaps, a few minutes after Mr. B. and Dr. H. dramatically burst into the drawing room to announce their miraculous return from Parallel Time, Mrs. Stoddard, very gently and very tactfully, informed Julia that she would have Mrs. Johnson draw her a nice, hot bath (or "bawth" as the mistress of Collinwood is wont to say)?
Bob the Bartender, who thanks the good Lord that he had the presence of mind to take a nice, hot shower before going out and getting stuck in the blackout of 8/14/03!
