Daffodillies?

Stronger, hot and red; till you thirst for the daffodillies
With an anguished, husky thirst that you cannot assuage,
When the daffodillies are dead, and a woman of the dog-days holds you in gage.
Patience, little Heart.
D. H. Lawrence - Epilogue

A fine summer's evening. The Doc is ready. And well he should be. The Col is more reticent. And I believe that nothing but bitter disappointment awaits me. We shall see.

My first avatar, Wiggins the skeevy butler. He will succumb...

to Bernice the matronly schemer who will make off with the millions of Millie.
Dennis profits from the wicked promptings of Bernice.
The fortress to defend.
The knights lay seige.
My hapless defenders.
The all too inevitable outcome.
Dr. Kirby bestows the Order of the Undisclosed Location.
Dr. Kirby also amasses an enviable trove of American art.
