ten lords a leaping

(or 'lowping' where Margi comes from)

MYRTLE

Are they squirrel lords? Leaping from tree to tree? That would be lovely to see.

MUCH

It might be squirrel lords where that Myrtle comes from, I think we're talking about the aristocracy and the House of Lords from 'ere. 'Er remembers a big charity fundraiser some years ago when ten real Lords played leapfrog on 3 December. That'd be worth seeing. Mind, there's some in the 'ouse of Lords she's not too keen on, and the idea of 'em taking a run down the garden, clearing the fence and landing in the river might appeal to 'er. Doesn't have to be the river. If they fall a bit short and hit the mud she'd be well pleased. Common as clarts, she is.

(Clarts is mud where she comes from.)
