with Mr.V series and Jackpot of Talk – Mrs. J series for continuity. And yes,
always read from the bottom i.e., I-X in ascending order).
“Maydum, work done. Chair finished. Happy?”
asked Mr. V.
“V I asked you to fix the chair not to
finish it” responded Mrs. J angrily and added “I gave you a chair and you
returned me a stool.”
“Bottom wood rot maydum, legs cut four
inches each. Cushion on seat no, so chair” he asserted.
“Did you say you got your woodwork done by
this joker?” Mrs. V asked me.
“Yes and he did a fantastic job” I
responded honestly.
“Mr. V, why then did you do a bad job for
me?” she asked.
“You busy to talking and talking no maydum.
Worker bore confuse and my brain stop working” he said.
“Glad he did not turn that into a coaster Mrs.
J. At least you have something to sit on” I pulled Mrs. J’s legs.
“Oh God! I now need to buy a chair and use
this stool as a leg rest. What nonsense!” she barked.
I looked outside the window. Mr. V stared
at the ceiling. Mrs. J, for once, kept her lips together. Aaah!
What a relief!
