HANDEL WAS MY BENEFACTOR AND IT'S ALL TOO MUCH!!!! (An observation: this vast world of which I'm a part seems to contain an awful lot of benefactors... eh, @GE_YoungPip?!)

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_YoungPip @GE_ClaraB HANDEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!!!!

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_YoungPip Of course, my best and wisest of all possible Handels!!! Oh, I do love a good mysterious plan!!

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

Oh my dear @GE_ClaraB, my dear @GE_YoungPip, only think of it - we could ALL THREE of us live in a house full of ships and fruit and loveliness and a distinct lack of in-laws!!!! How WONDERFUL!!!!

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

And I'm sure @GE_ClaraB doesn't mind at all that my dearest and definitely-no-longer-profligate Handel might potentially be sharing our Eastern idyll... *beams delightedly*

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

Dearest @GE_YoungPip, dearest Handel... won't you come to me? #bromance #clerkshipandfriendship

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

Look - I know I said I wanted a perfect fleet of ships, but this was NOT what I had in mind!!! #ohdear #ohhandel #ohhelp

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

I've been considering the matter for a good fifteen minutes, and I really think I ought to check everything's going as it should for my dear @GE_YoungPip - what do you say, @GE_Startop, shall we head off on an adventure?! #evercheerfulherbert #butalsoslightlyanxious

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

But of course, it's sad indeed to think that my dearest @GE_YoungPip can't come with me... ah, if only...

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

I do apologise for my absence, dear friends, but I've been steeped to my ears in travel plans - that's right, lovely Herbert and @GE_ClaraB are GOING TO THE EAST!!! #arabiannights #andarabiandays

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

Heavens, but everything's rather feral at the moment!! Fear not, @GE_ClaraB, @GE_YoungPip - lovely Herbert will always be there with bandages, wedding-bands and all the fruit you could ever want ❤️🍒🍐🍊

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_YoungPip Oh, HANDEL!!! Of course!! Hasten to the arms of ever-faithful Herbert!! (Also - there's something I really ought to tell you about @GE_Magwitch - only if your head's quite cool, of course...) #mydearboy

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_YoungPip @GE_ClaraB YOU'RE BOTH SO ADORABLE ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

Also - in a MUCH happier tone - my two absolute favourite humans @GE_ClaraB and @GE_YoungPip have FINALLY met!!!! #lovelyherbertinlove

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

So: the *secret plan* is in place, @GE_Wemmick is a force of nature, old Gruffandgrim is (annoyingly) even more so - and I very much hope we can all pull it off for poor Handel's sake!! #tomjackorrichard #WINK

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_ClaraB ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

EVERYTHING IS FINE IN THE HANDEL/POCKET HOUSEHOLD OH YES VERY FINE EMINENTLY PEACHY QUITE NOTHING SUSPICIOUS WHATSOEVER

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_OldPip @GE_YoungPip @GE_Magwitch If we just link arms and pace before the fire, dearest Handel, I'm sure we'll think of something...!! #bromance #panic #toostunnedtothink

[Herbert Pocket @GE_Herbert]

@GE_YoungPip @GE_ClaraB @GE_MatthewP look look look!!!!!!!! 🍓🍐🍇🍍🍒🍌🍊🍎
