This choice: formal evening suit of tails, starched shirt, and cummerbund... • Go Back... "The food will be great, and there will be entertainments, but you will need to blend in, so Master Geoff requests that you wear this formal evening suit of tails, starched shirt, and cummerbund, and these shoes."
A suit! You hate suits - they never seem to fit, and the shirt collars are always to tight against your muscular neck. You blurt out, "But if I wear that, I'll look like you!"
