Clammy, dearest,

The incident with the mash tun is preying on my mind at the moment since she still contains a certain amount of residue and this may render her cremation a somewhat explosive affair. Burial would of course be safer but aside from contaminating the surrounding area we so have a tradition in our group for cremation after the incidents back in 1967 where a number of those buried ‘returned’.

On the upside Miss Burbage’s departure has left us with access to the upstairs toilet on a far more regular basis, though it appears her kleptomania was recently directed towards the copper ballcock. Thus a simple flush now requires hauling a bucket of water up three perilous flights of stairs.

Given a number of metallic fixtures around the building seem to have been claimed by her, I am beginning to wonder what she planned to do with them.

I am sorry to hear Mrs Pattrick’s culinary skills have gone downhill. I always thought it was amazing the things that woman could do with a sponge finger.

However, I digress. I would be happy to go with Miss Bleakly’s suggestion. If you can send me the details we can meet. Would 11pm be acceptable? I would suggest earlier but some of my ladies can’t be out for too long and some are virtually nocturnal through long habit. (One can only hope they will not attempt to ply their old trade.)

I was wondering how you were planning the disposal of Miss Twigham on the evening? Fireworks do bring out the worst in her.

  • Stained Steel

    Baby oil is excellent for cleaning brushed stainless steel. However it is not advisable to squeeze it from your neighbours’ babies. Instead choose one from a few streets away so no suspicion falls on you.
