That far shed

Chris Hall50 Comments

Paris Photographer – Louis Paulin

The red-headed woman mused while she tramped across the field on that farm, listening to everyone’s accents, she hadn’t really thought about that before, since all her friends sound pretty normal – mostly French, Paris in fact, although Scatty was originally from Ireland, and of course, she herself was from Liverpool, and there wasn’t much difference between the two of them the way they could speak together if they wanted to.

However, Inspector Clouseau was a completely different kettle of fish (as one might say), since he spoke very oddly indeed, was he really a Frenchman? she wondered, as she peered at him once again, as he marched along with his over-sized magnifying glass.

It was a long way to walk still, and the red-head woman continued to muse to herself; she thought all the things she had done in the past – breaking in, and breaking out, on various schemes, like that big safe, for example, and she and the two gargoyles had kind of helped – even thinking the three of them should have plotted a heist of their own.

She stopped… dead… as she pondered to herself, was she heartless? was she uncaring? even ruthless..?

‘Come on,’ grinned Scatty, ‘do you need a hand?’ as the two of them linked arms.

Just a few metres and all of them were there, as they crowded in that last shed -and yes, it was amazing… diamonds galore on that one shelf, as Inspector Clouseau said: ‘I am an Office of the Leu.’

    • Aye, she’s Irish! Scáthach (or Scatty) is a warrior, if she needs to be, and also she’s a shapeshifter. She’s fun and she’s very strong as well. She’s always great! 🍀

  18. one of the things I like the most about your Sixes is that on more than one occasion I will copy-paste something and spin the Internet roulette

    this week, ‘I am an officer of the leu’

    sure ‘nough got a clip from the movie ‘the Pink Panther’

    (won’t try to insert it into my comment, as that doesn’t see to work over the ocean)

    very fun!

    • That ocean can be very strange, particularly that one, the North and South Atlantic… too many cables, maybe? Still, there are many little clips about IC and his wonderful accent (of course, that word for this week ‘accent’ – giggling).

  19. Ah yes, who doesn’t love Professor Clouseau? And the thing about the “pheune”, (“I’ve come to fix your pheune!” “My pheune?” “Yes, your pheune”) Its probably been over 30 years since I’ve seen that movie, and I will still occasionally refer to my phone as my “pheune”, which then necessitates the reciting of the rest of the lines!😂😂☎️
