There was a delivery boy with a cap on his head waiting in their front hallway. “What are you here for?” asked Clare as she came downstairs.

“Not sure entirely,” said the boy. “There’s a gentl’mun who asked me to deliver something for him when ’e’s done writing it, but ’e’s taking an awful long time. I haven’t got all day.”

The mystery was solved when Clare discovered Unclet sitting at their dining room table, writing frantically on sheets of paper. “Please pardon me, Clare,” he said, “for trespassing upon your table… but I have a deadline for this weekly column, and I’ve only just worked out an idea for what it’s meant to be about.”

“Do you have trouble writing sometimes too?” Clare asked in wonder.

“All writers do,” Unclet said. “It is a mighty struggle!”

“Oh,” Clare said. Watching Unclet writing, she had an inspiration.

“Can I dip my pen in your inkwell, Unclet?” asked Clare, sitting down and opening her writing notebook.

“Of course, Clare, my dear,” said Unclet, dipping his own pen and then pushing the inkwell towards her.

Clare looked at her Sister Smith story, which was just one sentence long. She wondered if just by sitting near the great man, she’d be inspired to write the next bit. Who, what and where, she told herself. Carefully, she reached her pen over to the inkwell, and dipped it in his ink. Surely, the right words would come out now.
