Of course we say smashing, old chap.  Only pulling your leg,
mate.  Yes, I admit, it was an attempt at being overly English
for your amusement.  Good to know that you are not so easily
fooled.  I haven't heard from Gwen in a bit.  I trust you have
not been bold enough to make a move yet.  Don't think that the
"taking it slow" bit is completely lost on me.  I get it.  I'm
working on a relationship now, in fact, which is progressing
very slowly.  You may be surprised to know that the pace is
at MY request.  So, as I said, I understand the moving slowly
concept.  That being said, Gwen likes Tulips.  Just a tip.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have someone I need to see.

God Save the Queen
