More careful still?

My hands, this arthritis, Ivy, I’m being as

careful as I can, really I am. Not very

interested, anyway, balls to it, nothing makes

the pain any better, don’t make one any better

concentrating on the other, aaaaaaaaah!

Yes, I know what she’s like when she’s crossed.

Yes, Ivy, I’ll try. Don’t want to cross House

Mother.

Then there was that

sneaky little sod who also had one of the railway

arches down there behind the Broadway, he could

drop you in the fertilizer too if you weren’t very

careful, though with him you could see it coming

and you could watch out for it. And never deal

with him unless you had to. The best way was to

play safe and sell before you had bought. Make

sure you had a sale before you paid for whatever

it was. Even then you could get caught sometimes,

find yourself aaaaaaaaah!

Not again, I could do with a better cushion than

this, she ought to provide an air cushion for

people in my condition, I’ve even seen people take

them on buses, if they were in this painful con-

dition, what can I do, only ask, and I’m afraid to

do that.
