    @29 la marquise de merteuil :

    “How very dare they!”

    Ma chere marquise!LOL..I hope you meant that to be humorous; it conjured up an image of your over-powdered nose in the air, mouth agape, and bejewelled lorgnette firmly in place while clutching your grandmother’s pearls.

    Graciella – I am sure that la marquise is being humorous. The phrase is a variation on the comedienne Catherine Tate’s character, Derek Faye The Reluctant Gay – and it almost exactly conjures up your image. Check out the scenes on youtube. LOL.
