‘Afterwards’, called Norman, ‘and don’t use my strawberry shower gel’.

More cherry brandy , asked Norman smiling like a reptile as he noticed that Enid was almost unconscious and he looked across at Mason , who was already out cold having drunk a lot of whisky ...
Neither of them heard Norman say , " not much longer , mother - two of them this time ."

Bridie22 Tue 20-Dec-22 15:17:28

Oh! Then don't leave them standing at the door Norman, invite them in.

Calendargirl Tue 20-Dec-22 12:22:48

“No, it’s not Amazon, Mother, it’s two weary travellers who have seen our sign”.

Norman, the thin pale man looked very unsure, but continued to stare at the cat

Bridie22 Tue 20-Dec-22 11:31:52

Just the amazon delivery guy said Mason!

He was twiddling a piece of rope in his hands and

Esmay Tue 20-Dec-22 08:22:39

Thank heavens, though, the brakes did actually work; and Enid and Mason decided to get out of Noddy’s car (they both felt that it was going nowhere, in more ways than one); and instead to set off, on foot, towards the distant glowing lights.

No! Mason told himself! That’s gross!

Esmay Mon 19-Dec-22 20:52:57
