Tales of Kelly's Garden


Fiver: There's something very queer about the warren this evening
Hazel: Is it dangerous?
Fiver: It's not exactly danger, it's... oh, I don't know. Something oppressive... like thunder.
Bigwig: I know. It is very quiet but the air is heavy and it feels like something is going to burst out. The lady in the cottage has gone away.
Hazel: What do you mean she has gone away? We just moved here.
Bigwig: Well the lady in the cottage has left someone to sit at her house while she is away. She is what they call a subsititute.
Fiver: I thought those were the ladies who wear all the make-up and those short shorts down by the truck stop near the highway.
Bigwig: I don’t think so that must be some other kind of tute.
Hazel: What is this new lady like?
Bigwig: Well she sings just as nice as that other lady. But she is kind of strange. She talks to herself all the time and last night she got all upset. She started throwing things around and yelling that she hated everything. It was scary.
Hazel: That’s terrible. That sounds just like the lady in the first garden where the old warren was set up. Do you think they are related?
Bigwig: No I don’t think so. This one doesn’t put that smelly stuff on her hair. And she doesn’t have so many men writing her letters. She seems shy.
Fiver: Yes I don’t think so either. I hope she doesn’t get all mean like the other lady. I hate to be dodging wine bottles again.
Bigwig: I don’t think this lady drinks at all.
Hazel: Well we will have to wait and see.
Fiver: What are we going to do?
Hazel: I don’t think we might have to move the warren. I don’t think this new lady will around for long. The other nice lady will be back soon, and everything will get back to normal.

Hmmm, I haven't seen either cottage lady around these parts in awhile. What's up with that?

And who's minding the Meade?
