  1. The dashing ragamuffin had a conniption fit at the her cheeky response. “What do you mean my job is a ‘flimflam frolic of wonky rubbish’?”

    With calculated repentance, the floozy raised her frilly skirts inch-by-inch, measuring his response from beneath her lashes. The man’s eyes bulged fiendishly, longingly. Just short of revealing her stocking-tops, she chuckled, “Oh, my dear magician, you are so easy to tease!”

    He harrumphed and, under his breath, called himself an ass-wipe. Surely, if only the suggestion of a frolic with the show’s leading lady bumfuzzled him so, he was in no state for witty banter. Perhaps his noggin was too filled with ale. He pivoted, hoping to make a dramatic exit, and stomped directly into a gunky puddle of muck. His neat leather boots were filthy. Now, he was no namby-pamby to go waddling off to sulk when bitten by misfortune, so he rounded on the delightfully tortuous woman. She didn’t seem surprised to have his attention returned to her.

    “Now, m’lady,” he mocked with a great bow. He hoped her own embarrassment would override his own. “I can only assume based on your recent…revelations,” he loomed over her, recalling all of the scuttlebutt of late, “that you’re offering your services?”

    She sputtered vehemently. “Why you arrogant, janky man--I would never consider it!” Abruptly she lunged at him with a well-rehearsed and desired kiss.

    “Ah…I knew you’d come around my dear,” he murmured once his lips had found her neck. You always come around, he thought.
