Paris Photographer – Louis Paulin
They had been singing for ages and loudly too, the songs, the lyrics and the melodies were all off key, but none of them cared, since this was a great outing; they hadn’t been all together for such a long time, more than half a year, but time is a strange idea if some of this lot are immortal.
Mr Cushing was driving, as always, in his purring limousine, and The Old One sat next to him; they had both been living in the south of France – very clement and useful too, since they both love going to the Cannes Festival and hang out with the hoi polloi (not).
Francis was sitting in the middle row, he had been reading the newspapers avidly, almost desperately to find anymore news about those jewels which had been stolen from the Louvre; it was only he who wouldn’t sing, while his wife, Joan, and her best friend Scatty, were clapping their hands on the other side and singing their hearts out.
The two gargoyles sat in the back and looked out in the rear of the car, eager to see a particular police car, since Inspector Clouseau could be just behind them.
The red-headed woman had been moving around in that gorgeous long car, talking to all her lovely friends; she was very keen to see what would occur, and she shouted: ‘we must be almost there at that farm.’
And a moment later she grinned: ‘it’s that it… all those big sheds.’

Ah, I can hear the joyous noise now. Reminds me of a Christmas long ago at home, piano, harmonica, recorder, cello, and a biscuit tin with knitting needles as a drum. The rendition of Silent Night was awesome.
Thanks for the inclusion Chris.

Inspector Clouseau will be in for a surprise if he stops that car with the two gargoyles in it. Or maybe not.

one of life’s true treasures, the road trip.
especially, as is the case here, in a vehicle not only large enough for more than two people to ride in comfort, but, even more so, roomy enough to allow one to get up and sit next to different fellow travelers at different times!
fun
I for one would be inclined to sit in the far-back with the gargoyles (and make fun of people in the cars behind us and those with the temerity to try and pass us)

That sounds perfect for you, Mr Clark (said one of the gargoyles).

The song asks, “Where is that large automobile?” The red-headed woman knows exactly where because she’s out with her friends for a joyride in it! (legal of course, lol). Next stop… farm??
