  4. about HER!' 'Golly, Rosie, I've never heard you swear before! You MUST be upset! Are you sure you're not just a teeny weeny, tinsy wincy bit ... jealous?' 'Don't be ridiculous, Fiona! He's the one always getting stroppy if one of the workers even so much as smiles at me. No, I'm just getting annoyed how he's always fluffing around but not actually doing anything.' 'Sounds like you need to sit down and have a serious talk with him. Would you like me to act as mediator?' 'Well, ...
  5. Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This ~ Eurythmics
  6. she'd rung her friend Fiona Fonthill-Roy and was telling her I was acting peculiarly. 'I asked him to roll out some pastry and the next thing he's stripping to the waist, waving his arms around behind him and now he's singing in the shower! Do you think ...
  7. Time In a Bottle ~ Jim Croce
  8. enly. Rosie was a little bit suspicious of my dealings with the fair sex since the debacle over Clothilde and Pythagoras. 'very competent,' I added. 'Well, if she's very competent, she'll be able to manage by herself. She can report to us afterwards. You can help me instead and roll out the pastry, since elbow grease is required.

I'm sure this is not what you want our precious Rosie to be subjected to!' 'Harumph ... quite. It just reminded me of a certain little nightclub I used to frequent in my younger days, going by that name. I have fond memories of this bewitching little temptress by the name of Trixiebell Scarlett. What she couldn't do with a ...' 'Daddy! Really!'

  14. to ring but I kept getting the engaged signal!' 'That's funny, we haven't had any phone calls,' I said, 'I'll go and check if it's working, you know I'd always enjoy a good chat with you.' Huh!
