“I’ll do nothing of the sort! Get out of my bedroom, Rosie!”

I blinked between them Grandpa was not in the mood for further company, evidently I went over to hirunt from him “I’ll speak to you soon, Grandpa”

Another grunt

“Mrs Stuart, I’m on my way out Why don’t I join you on your way downstairs?” I swept her out of Grandpa’s rooue

It was no mean feat, let me tell you

I offered her ratefully, but you never could tell with the elderly

At least not the elderly in White Peak

I didn’t know if they were grateful for anything at all

“Oh, Mabel is at those darn ducks again,” Rosie said as we stepped out of the elevator “Stupid noisy things Alaking me up from my nap”

“Should I ask about the ducks?”

“Nobody should,” said another voice from behind

Rosie wrinkled her face up “Go away, Hagatha”

“Who’s this?” the other wo me up as I turned around “He’s handsome”

“Arandson,” Rosie answered, somewhat reluctantly

“He has a nice backside”

And I was done here for today

“Well, Mrs Stuart,” I said, extracting Rosie’s hand fro me find my way out You ladies have a nice day”
