Being patronised by friends is an essential part of wooing a fair maid.

And now I've got Yeomen of the Guard in my head.
A man who would woo a fair maid
Must 'prentice himself to the trade
And study all day, in methodical way,
How to flatter, caiole and persuade.
He should 'prentice himself at fourteen,
And practice from morning to e'en,
And when he's of age, if he will, I'll engage,
He may capture the heart of a queen!

Oh, yes. Every time someone leaves the room they start up. It is top-quality entertainment.
The reason I'm not worried about what they might say about me is that the worst things they could say are "his laugh is weird" or "he must have some kind of terrible secret; he smiles suspiciously often". I haven't done anything remotely scandalous, so I expect some to be made up about me soon.

The NUGSS Gossip Queen has told me in the past that they iust make up the gossip about me, since there isn't any actual gossip, or if there is, it's all to do with people they've never met.
