“Do tell me why I got the feeling that the little angels didn’t delight my company as much as I did theirs?,” pondered the baroness, resting her delicate face against her white glove. (The 25-mph wind was blowing against her rosy cheeks and her sunhat had to be held down by a white silk scarf; she was in the passenger’s side of her fiance’s Morris Cowley.) It was because she was assiduously correcting the invisible dirt and feathers on her thin & diaphanous dresses instead of playing with the children’s budgies and bright yellow canaries. “Just be natural, and try not to ingratiate yourself into children’s lives, my dear,” but her fiance dared not proclaim this aloud, for fear of her feminist brusqueness.

I'm a celestial body that has fallen from another Universe, but who are you to understand? My people are more technologically advanced than you, so there is no reason for you to try and declare battle with us. We have the utilities to eliminate your whole planet at the speed of light.

I come in peace, and you can take it to my mother's meteorite.

My whole life I have been anxious to visit this rock you call "Earth" to verify other extraterrestrial beings do exist. There is no reason to doubt anymore.

Also, my kingdom voted that I notify you of the end of your sun and of your solar system. We invite you to bring your kingdom near ours - we have agreed to provide you with all resources needed to survive and blossom. But we have one condition: that we are permitted to revive Alexander McQueen to create our Kings' & Queens' garments.
