We've been carried away. Beyond bournes and bowers. So we'll leave it to Keyhoe, Danelly and Pykemhyme, the three muskrateersThe phrase "carried away" is a red herring, at least if it is considered idiomatically. You and your companions will literally be conveyed elsewhere. Don't get your panties/boxer-briefs (black, striped, polka-dotted) in a bunch by failing to interpret figuratively the mention of "bournes and bowers"; kidnapping, abduction, rapine: these are all eventualities which you can safely preclude from the day's worries, unless, of course, you are in a geographic or sociopolitical position which renders those possibilities a daily threat. Guard yourself against gentlemen or ladies approaching you in a manner which indicates they wish to hoist you above their shoulders, release a rousing cry of camaraderie, and dash your limiting preconceptions to pieces. A facile suggestion occurs: hold hands with all of your companions all of the time, or prime yourself for ersatz weeping (one could easily read muskra-tears) if danger should loom.
Do not eat any fish. Disabuse as many persons as possible of the notion that D'Artagnan was one of the Musketeers (Mousquetairs) of the title; that honor goes to Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.
