A Cunning Stunt
The first time
I discovered the art of female deception was when I was five. My
father read the tale of Rindercellar, the Sigly Usters and the
Mugly Other to me one evening just before I was bucked into ted.
Rindercellar bent to the wall and slopped her dripper for the
Pransome Hince. We were meant to believe that it was all because
she was in a rush to leave the can in her marriage before
midnight. Something about a micky tragic spell that would turn
the carriage into a pumpkin and the meedy horses into spice. But
you didn't buy that, did you? It was all a plot. A devious female
plot to catch the Pransome Hince in a challenge to his ego, a
mystery he just had to solve - he was deceived by the oldest
trick in the book. Playing hard to get. In the end he followed
Rindercellar home and she bagged her Pransome Hince.
So when Bunny Fox falled me on the
cone I was naturally suspicious. Besides, it was seven in the
morning. She even said she would fun over and retch me. How
sweet. How very suspicious.
"Doesn't she know that she was supposed to play hard to
get?" I muttered to myself, replacing the feletone in its
cradle. I had barely showered and was enjoying toffee and coast,
when her car screeched to a halt outside my flock of bats.
I leant out the window and shouted "I'm numming down
cow!"
My gay roommates Percy Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzpercy wanted
to know where I was going.\par "Dying" I remarked with
a flour smile.
Bunny Fox had me packed into the car in seconds. We headed off
for the distant plying face.
The blind was wowing when we
arrived.
"I'll help you take off" she urged, manning my fale
pride that I was so cool, I could handle it. I should have
noticed that she was a little too eager and supporting. But I
fell for it, although I was feeling feek and weeble, and what I
sore looked willy.
I leached over and raunched my glider. The streglaps bit into me
and stripped me onto the tones.
"Rhit!" I soared as I was ragged into the docks. When I
tit the hank of water beside the clubhouse, I was humbled to a
teap. Bunny Fox rushed to help me but my leg was sore. We decided
that I shouldn't fly that day. I would be the retrieval driver.
Of course the wind calmed then and the flutterbyes filled the air. The sun sparkled as Bunny opened her glider. She bnapped her suckles and clasped her hips. Tossing her hair back, she blipped on her slack helmet. Then with a smile, she pulled up her glider and flew out into the sky, circling up to the bloudcase.
I hobbled down and drove after her
in the car.
I keep feeling that I've missed something, that I've been
deceived by the same art that snared the Pransome Hince.
