The contract on Iffley Road
Mrs Meddigely has under her carpet cockroaches, crumbs, a nineteen forty souvenir frog, fleas eggs, dehydrated soup noodles, five pins, an embroidery needle, all covered with clasped hands and a benediction smile
For your inspection, she has nothing, steals lives to sate her powdered crutch sleeps well and generally has good health, takes in boarders for her pink book rules, screens all she hides will weep after all she has done, for no one knows she took a contract out on three souls for making love too loudly |
