I did so want to see you in tights

incandescensSlush all over the pavements and on some of the roads this morning. Not too bad in central Leeds, but I'm told it was worse further out, with deeper snow. A lot of my team members worked from home today, which made it lovely and quiet for those of us who did make it in.
I think I may be coming down with a cold. Time to self-medicate. Also, probably should not work on baby quilt for coworker's baby while sniffling. Might be a bad idea.

Both men [Lubitsch and Raphaelson] delighted in milking situations for all the naughty nuances they could convey, and also in inventing little irrelevant comic doodles such as the scene in this film when an absurdly costumed gentleman (Charles Ruggles) telephones his inamorata (who is married to his best friend) to tell her that he is on the verge of departing for her costume party in the guise of Romeo. There is a pause for his face to fall at her unheard reply. Then he says: 'Oh. Not a costume party?' And the camera pulls back to emphasize again the full nature of his sartorial plight, which includes velvet doublet and silken hose. He replaces the phone and calls his butler (the bland Charles Coleman, whose sole appearance in the movie is this ten-second scene). 'Marcel, why did you tell me it was a costume party?' 'Oh, sir,' says the man with just a hint of lasciviousness, 'I did so want to see you in tights.'
