Oh my oh my oh my.
Tiny puppy hat!
I don't think Cassie has let go of that puppy since...check archives...oh, my.
Revenge is best served... while trying to choke back your sniggers. xD
Ok fan theory 1: Florrie faked a wedding/is faking a marriage to get out of her parents' house and into respectable independant citizenship (though this doesn't seem necessary in this world really, but maybe it is necessary among a certain portion of society which Florrie is now part of?)
Fan theory 2: She married a man to stop her parents pestering her (like they pester Nicola) and as his beard. Thus we never see him because he is very busy ;)
These aren't very good fan theories, but I hope we eventually find out what is up with Florrie's husband :)
Wild alternate fan theory: her husband is Sam, the time traveler we met in Piece of Cake.
Pretty much the fastest I've ever upvoted a comment
XD XD XD
I think at this point Florrie's just trolling us. She's one of those girls who can't stop teasing. (I hasten to add that this is NOT an indictment of any lady's character. It's simply a personality/humor type.)
I think she is married to someone (the money comes from somewhere, right?)... but WHO............ THE MYSTERY DEEPENS
What gets me the most is that aside from mentioning it as a reason she can't flirt not even her family mention or ask after him. Considering how close knit that family is ( and how much family is a theme of this story) that is definitely a silence that speaks loudly.
Especially during the part where they were making sure all the families were safe.
Unless the money comes from somewhere else, and she faked a rich husband to explain it
There’s a sketch somewhere of Mrs de Montfort holding a smoking pistol and looking slightly manic. Clearly she married a rich old man for his money, shot him, buried him in the cellar and then concocted some story about him going on an extended business trip to America.
Now I'm trying to imagine what her verse of Cell Block Tango would sound like.
My running theory since Chapter 6 was that he was Luxuria playing a very long game, but that kinda went up in smoke when he did :P
I think 2 is probably the most likely at this point.
full disclosure- when people started posting that theory i did think it was pretty excellent and was kicking myself for not thinking of it in the first place. seemed kinda harsh on florrie though!
But that would have made it entirely par for the course for Luxuria, wouldn't it?
… Now I'm even more curious about the true nature of Mr. de Montfort, to be honest.
It's still gonna be a plot-point, though, right?
i have a plan for how florrie's future will play out, yes
Absurd crossover fan theory: She's Colombo's never named and never seen but oft-referenced wife
i had maris crane in mind, won't lie
Or, as the cat in Pogo said, manymany years ago, as it stalked off, "That, sir, is an entirely different and personal matter."
I don't remember that quote, but much love for the Pogo reference. Swaller dollar cauliflower 'n' alleygaroo.
Wasn't it Nora who was freezing on the trolley?
Indeed it was.
Yes, but it was Trolley Molly who don't love Harold, Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo.
>the puppy is on its fourth name now
We saw June reading Castle Waiting at one point in Chapter 6, didn't we? Cassie has something in common with Skeeter and her puppy of many names... ; )
It's possible that that's the fourth puppy Cassie has claimed.
They do all kind of look alike!
I doubt Cassie has let go of the one she originally was carrying: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-12th-2015/ "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-12th-2015/")
Dzenwrites, you don't ask a lady such things unless she's your lady! And then only in private. Didn't your father teach you anything, Sir?
What is the card trick Sid is performing there?
It reminds me of a (less magical) "version" my family used to call "Fifty-two Pickup"...
"make it rain"?
I think the magic trick part here is that the cards are flying, fountain-like, out of his sleeves.
Well, yes, lol 😜
My first-glance thought was "fifty-two pick-up" as well.
People are just going to keep asking, Florrie. :P
Personally I'm holding out for the puppy to be named Jezadorabel
Thanks for answering my question! I’m guessing Harry is the one who has to pick up the cards.
She's closer to the ground.
Alarmed yet intrigued by Florrie's reaction to the husband question. It looks like she's in pain from either being asked the question or trying to think about the answer. Did her so-called husband do something to her, magic-related?
"It looks like she's in pain" I'm guessing it's from the volume of all in caps.
Perhaps. I didn't notice that
It looks like she got poked in the eye. Maybe the question metaphorically did that with more-than-metaphorical consequences.
Would the real Mr. de Monfort please stand up?
He can't. No legs:
1213 might be a little before Florrie's time.
Time travel has been established as a thing...
Oh! Busted!
Mr. de Montfort has learned the first lesson of not being seen: Not to stand up.
Harry kicks down the door of the hideout of the evil railroad magnatrix who's kidnapped Sid and wants to force him into marriage, spends fifteen minutes sword fighting while Sid is chained up dangling precariously over a vat of boiling acid in the background, swings past him on a chandelier, cuts him loose and grabs him, and flies out a plate-glass window onto a motorcycle and they ride away as the hideout explodes behind them, and then they get married.
All with THAT dress on.
no Sid's wearing the dress, he was the one kidnapped in the first place.
sid could move much better in a dress than harry, let's be honest
We do hear stories about English boarding schools, so I'll just ask: has Sid had any experience wearing a dress?
Interesting, would you say Sid is more graceful than Harry? : )
oh most definitely!
Harry can move pretty well when she has a mind. Unless Sid does have some sort of experience as Nonesuch speculates, though, I'd say it's even money which one of them would move better in a dress. Both are pretty capable physically, but neither of them is accustomed to it.
I can't help but wonder whether Florrie has some moves in this regard, since she's always dressed so beautifully. (I'm a sucker for a well-dressed lady, what can I say?) She is a Barber, after all. :P
So, now that the sins are bound up, what do they do (if they CAN do anything, really)?
Presumably, the same things other spirits can do when they're not being summoned. Which I assume to be "exist as part of the collective human subconscious".
So, probably nothing active. They have as much influence now as they do in the real world.
Thank you for passing along my polite question. I would not have asked for an introduction to the gentleman if I thought it would cause the lady any distress.
I do admire her, however, for enduring the distress instead of retailing a convenient lie. Such a lie, if it were boring enough, would deflect all the attention Florrie so obviously dislikes.
Oh! Oh! I have another question, and I am very interested to hear the answer.
Ahem.
To Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Pride, Sloth and Wrath: Given that Lust played you all, and was looking to steal your power so it could conquer the mortal world… what will you be doing to it, now that it's been banished back to the spirit world, where you all are?
Question seconded.
A question for Wolfe: Exactly why were you so freaked out when you thought Florrie might be pregnant, hmm? =_= Answer me that, young man!
William Hartnell, is that you?
Well, Florrie, all I can say is that I'm glad to have brightened your day a bit.
Also, your sister is quite predictable in some ways, isn't she?
Mrs Sidney Malik had just finished the ironing when her husband came home from work. She rushed to welcome him home, with their three adorable children by her side. Once she'd made Sid comfortable in the best armchair, and brought him a nice cup of tea and his slippers, she left him to relax while she got the dinner ready. Soon, they were all sitting around the dining table enjoying the delicious meal she'd spent all afternoon preparing. Harriet watched her wonderful family and felt that happy glow of domestic respectability.
Then she woke up, screaming.
And your fanfictions are all this brutal, too...
Neither of my readers has ever complained.
Are we having a week off from updates before the comic starts up again next week?
i think i will do something on friday- not certain yet though, i want to get the vol 7 book off to the printer asap, juggling that and starting vol 8 right now! apologies for the floatyness.
Quite all right! You’ve got a lot on your plate right now.
I have always imagined Mr de Montfort as a bit of a Marquis de Carabas. All of the siblings are remarkable in their own way and I like to speculate that Florrie is actually a shrewd business woman who wants to circulate in polite society who might sneer and cut out fortunes made from dirty middle-class trade. I imagine Mr de Montfort to be a fiction to hide the fact that the rather dashing young lady at society balls is actually the merchant sister of a former maid, even if their grandad did come from a well to do family. It also means people continue to deal with Florrie as an innocent fluff rather than guard their conversation against the shrewd business woman who might later take advantage of them in a business deal.
That makes a lot more sense than my 'some kind of elaborate and ingenious theft' theory. And this way her family would be in on it, so their lack of concern about him is normal.
Her dad the 'boring accountant' sparked her interest in business and is secretly very proud.
Hey, the last few pages of the last story aren’t available on Comic Chameleon, dunno how easy it is to add multiple pages, just wanted to let you know in case you could resolve that
I'm really not certain how or why that happened, to be honest, and it won't let me import them that far back! I need to write to the people who run it :/
GAH!! I FREAKING LOVE HARRY AND SID.
Poor Florrie. I wonder if her hubby has social phobia. That would totally keep him from sharing the main stage in Q & A's until we meet him in-plot.
