That lovely limo…

Meanwhile, The Old One and Mr Cushing had managed to get across all those sheds without being noticed by those many gendarmes around that large farm, and they had a hairy time while that bumbling Inspector Clouseau had been laying across that gorgeous limo.

‘Outrageous,’ muttered Mr Cushing, as he clenched his teeth, while both of them hid in some bushes until Inspector Clouseau somehow or other managed to fall down to the ground from that very expensive car; he stood up rather quickly, as he moved away to catch up to all those gendarmes.

‘Now’s our chance,’ grinned The Old One, as Mr Cushing pulled out his keys; ‘no wishful thinking with this perfect purring car,’ as he gunned into reverse, and very, very quickly, he swung a right, and then put it onto drive, ‘zoom on, we’re on the move,’ as both of them grinned with glee, ‘what wits we are!’

They were racing through the countryside, Mr Cushing drove swiftly, while The Old One used his smartphone: ‘hear we are,’ he said, ‘I’ve the GPS, we can find them near the rails and then to the nearest station, hmm, excellent.’

Then The Old One started a soliloquy, almost like a fourth wall he thought to himself: ‘I think I might be a writer, I feel I should write my memoirs, but only the highlights,’ as he took out his posh pen and beautiful notebook.

Mr Cushing glanced at him, and said: ‘you’re going to be busy then.’

  12. like more than a few I was caught in the phrase, “…posh pen and beautiful notebook.“

    I know of some bloggers and writers who work in longhand, but I have never been tempted as my penmanship reached it’s peak in the 4th Grade (Palmer Method and those yellow lined pads with the dotted lines in-between the solid ones to help with scale I guess,)

    in any event while I enjoy the thought of a Mont Blanc (or a Lindy*) and a nicely bound notebook, the keyboard is where I am happiest…plus I don’t have to worry about running out of erasers. (though forgetting to save a draft is way worse than tearing the paper when erasing to hard.

    fun with words, no?
