**********

When Dave eventually came round, he could hear the familiar voice of Ruby, mixed up with the nines times’ table and a recipe for apple crumble all chorusing fuzzily through his head.

Ruby was standing over his inert body, still brandishing the baseball bat at him in an altogether quite alarming fashion:

“Young man, as you must be aware from my esoteric religious convictions; I abhor violence, of any kind. In my opinion, if you have to resort to physical attack, you have already lost any intellectual argument, not to mention the moral higher ground. But, when it comes to a nefarious thug with questionable intentions breaking into a poor, defenceless old lady's home in the middle of the night... well, sometimes one has to make an exception, and go against one's principles.”

Dazed and still struggling to retain his recently-reacquired conscious state, let alone fathom out what Ruby meant, Dave blinked stupidly up at her.

“The pen might be mightier than the sword, but a swift, solid baseball bat across the chops certainly settles an argument quickly!” Ruby was more upset due to her sleep being disturbed than by the nature of the break-in.

Dave struggled to raise himself but could not find the strength. Gurgling and gasping, he tried crawling out of the caravan, slithering, snakelike, on his belly. The whole world was still spinning in a revoltingly drunken manner; his head was throbbing; he felt that he was going to be sick . Ruby's angry words were still ringing in his ears all mixed up, somehow, with the 1930's French song “Boum!” by Charles Trenet.
