Our neighbor owned a small antique business and asked me to help a couple days a week, The pay was not great but it got me out of the house and antiqu...s was an interest of mine. After a few weeks she offered to take me out to thank me. Mario was out of town and we left in mid afternoon. She took me to the dining room of one of the best hotels in Montreal. Two nice gentlemen came and asked to join us. She seemed to know them and said yes. She introduced them as, Antoine (Tony) and Marvin,. The goblins had waited a month to storm the final stronghold of the goblin lords.Finished patrolling the outside of the castle, Vix walked past the gates, stepping over the body of a goblin that had met a dagger to the throat.Though the goblin lords called the place a castle, it was truly just an abandoned manor. It had a moat but no outer gates and a guard tower in disrepair that likely stored foodstuffs. The state of the tower didn’t stop a goblin loyal to the lords from taking shots at them. Could you walk us back if I can find Paulette? She’s trying to do the same thing we are.”“Sure,” I said. I’ll be just outside the front of the building waiting for you. It is dark outside, and I would figure it pretty safe here, but I would be happy to escort you.”After a few minutes the 2 ladies came out and we began the 3 blocks walk back.“It was a nice party, but too many people, and too many I didn’t know.” Paulette said.Renee and I both seconded her feelings and shared little stories of. . you smell good. Did you get a shower?” She looked at the hose. “Haven’t you put that away yet?” She shook her head. “I know you’re just recovering but you could have at least rolled that up.” She marched up the stairs to the porch, the shovel was by the door. “You haven’t even washed off the shovel. Lookit, Mr. Flintkote. I can’t do it all. I admit I took an hour to get the groceries ... what?”“Say that again.”“I took an hour.”“Stop. What day is it?”“Same as it was an hour ago. Wednesday.”.
