Not a big fan of lures and try to limit the number I carry and use but that one has something about

Very nice Matt. Where do you prefer them on the cast, and do you mix and match with more traditional wet patterns?

Sweet Matt. Nice 'darty' feel to it...which I like

Cease and desist this instant young man! I come in here for a quick browse and find you've been seduced by fritz and marabou! I shall have to have my secretary, Ampleforth, write strong words to that dashed Carruthers. Hell's teeth man, this is an outrage of Herculean proportions, not to mention a blot on the family escutcheon young Eastham.

Quite pretty though, maybe the sort of bijouterie that may interest a young lady.

Quite. Not since old Bosie Spotiswoode and I were reprimanded for frottering the school cormorant, have I stooped to such delinquent levels. I'm hoping it may be something to do with last night's liberal imbibing of absinth. Otherwise, I understand there is a tincture which may deal with the condition.

I'll thank you not to mention this to Pater. He's rather unsteady on his feet since he caught that surly maid of ours in the pantry with Sabu.

Yes, I recall your house master, Dr. Scott-Eccles, informing me that you received a lacerated hand after the unseemly incident and young Spottiswood was confined to the infirmary for a week by Matron. I thought that might be a lesson well learned, but it appears not. Mayhaps you'll set your hands on some unguent or other that may be efficacious for your condition. I won't mention this to your dear father but I've instructed Cadwallader to keep a weather eye out for Carruthers and shoot the blighter on sight, with rock salt.
