Austentatious

A shoutout to the very fun Milk Monitors, an improv group who are performing an Austen-style show entirely spontaneously every day at the Fringe. The audience drops slips of paper in their bonnets with a suggestion for a fictional Jane Austen novel title. They pick one at random, and off they go. 
Today, some cheeky audience member gave them "The name is Darcy. Charles Darcy. Agent 007". Cue the absurd, Austenesque, Pink Panther-reminiscent version of James Bond, complete with dashing hero, accent-challenged French villain, and lustful sister-in-law-turned-spy.  
A delightful time was had by all.
