“George! George! George, where’s my blanket. I want my blanket.”
‘George, George, I want my blanket’—damn prune-faced old bitch. She never stops.
Listen to her sittin’ up there like a dried up old mummy. With all the crap she shovels onto her face, she should be embalmed by now. One of these days I’d like to wring her scrawny little neck.
“George, where are you?”
“I’m coming Aunt Georgina. Got your blanky right here …” ‘You old bat.’
Maybe I should drape it gently over her head and put her out of her misery.
Snorting. “Here I am, Auntie, dear.”
“Well hurry up, boy! What took you so long?”
“I’m here now, aren’t I? There you go, Auntie. All nice and comfy cozy. Would you like a nice hot toddy to warm the old tum tum and maybe one of your custard tarts?”
“Thank you George, but be quick about it.”
‘Thank you George’ ... ‘be quick, George’—Old battle-ax. What do I look like—a slave?… I wish she’d “be quick about it” and six feet under to boot … Maybe, I could spike her hot toddy with a little something different to add a real kick?… No. Knowing her, the old bat’s bound to spill it or decide she’s not thirsty after all.
“George! What’s taking you so long this time? Stop dawdling and bring me my toddy—and don’t forget my little nip!”
