Hahaha! I'm glad you liked it. I spent a long time trying to come up with things that might make sense in that tone, and thought I might fail spectacularly. Glad at least someone shares my sense of humor. :)

And small it were! Why, 'e 'ad to walk from 'is bed chambers to the library all by 'imself, as there weren't a spare manservant to carry 'im! It were so small, 'e 'ad to learn to play the baby grand, for it were the only size piano that would fit through the foyer! Instead of double French doors, they 'ad a single…

"Wimbers" sounds like the name of an old, trusty nag in a Dickensian short story.

Who needs that much ice taking up all that space in their freezer? Is the water bad? Are you in Florida? Water is terrible there. If that is the case I can totes see buying ice.
