The message
from Sacha contains these words:

I've some spare flatcaps, too, but unfortunately not of the 'Ecky Thump'
variety. I take it he brings his own tacketty boots?

Yes but you will of course, pay for them and replace them every year, on his
birthday. And his wife will be given 3 yards of strong cotton twill to make
up new shirts, every Christmas.

*WIFE?* I need someone small enough to send up the chimneys!

Now come - get a grip. On what you're going to pay them she'll be so
under-nourished she'll be a pipe cleaner. Really - some seigneurs have no
imagination.
