The Snapelets Ride Again

[rj_anderson]

In response to the overwhelming support for this scene on the poll I ran a couple of weeks ago, it's...

The Birthday Party
In which Malcolm's coming of age goes pear-shaped in several different ways, thanks to the involvement of Albion, Margot, Geoff Weasley, and a girl named Susannah.

If Margot were annoyed, she gave no sign of it. "You'll have to excuse my brother," she said. "Dropping broad hints that I'm a Dark sorceress with ambitions of world domination is one of his few amusements these days."

ETA: Please note that this is not a complete story in itself, but rather a scene from a much longer WiP, and goes along with the four earlier scenes from the same WiP that I've posted in the past.

I've never heard it used that way. All I know is "I'm stuffed" meaning "I'm exhausted" or "get stuffed" as a politer version of "get f***ed". Whereabouts in Australia are you?

Actually, I'm not... I admit this bit of apocrypha comes from a story my mom tells from visiting Australia in the late eighties. *grin* I may have taken for fact what is only faintly remembered.
