Ah, I almost left out these fine points...
Cards are indeed left in a tray in the hall, or with a servant. If the booty-callee wishes to encourage social intercourse with the booty-caller, a card sent in return will suffice. However, if the card is sent in an envelope, this is a polite sign of refusal, and must be respected.
As for evening attire, it depends on whether or not the caller is invited to sit or must remain standing. In the latter case, tails are appropriate, as they lengthen the line of the figure and prevent drafts from reaching the backs of the legs. But if a more lengthy call is being paid, a short jacket or dressing gown, preferably of dark velvet or silk, would be the norm.
The RAF Air Marshal's cap is left to the host's discretion, but I can say with authority that an an Air Marshal's cap always makes me feel more virile. Mine is . It also has a very nice cigar-holder, in case the lady requires a place to rest her La Perfecta. I am nothing if not considerate.
Authoritatively,
T.

...I'll get my coat.
carter said:T., Thank you for this clarification.
One more question, if I may. Is your RAF Air Marshall's cap actually "quilted, embellished with red dragons, and monogrammed" or does that refer to your dressing gown?
Actually, two questions are in order. Which comes with the cigar holder, the RAF Air Marshall's cap or your dressing gown? Or...this this another singular item in your ensemble?
It is never good form to be either underdressed or uninformed.
Inquisitively,
Carter
Eh, swing shift *shudders* look at it this way, its still better than graveyard!! *double shudders*LocktownDog said:Sounds vaguely familiar. Very vaguely. Then again, I'll be starting new hours at work ... swing shift. Added to the fact that I'll have the kids 3 or 4 days a week, and I may never see one of these "dates" again.

To Diamondback-While I appreciate the offer, I have my own chest-waders for just such an occasion. That's one thing about gals from the Midwest-we come prepared!
M Tatterscratch said:I only just realised that I probably shouldn't be posting in here.
Shelve that crack about the "ridiculously good-lookin'" part, Carter - I see it coming!
Well, I'll just post 50% less often.
Oops,
T.
P.S. - You're single, Ms. Fourstar?!? Was there some sort of Y-Chromosome-specific plague in South Dakota? Does "Brokeback Mountain" have a huge cult following out there? As they say where I come from, "Now that just don't make no sense at'all..."
Watch out for these boys - They bite. Especially Diamondback, and he's venomous.
