Excerpt
I love the character of Agnes, the nosey neighbour who lives over the road from Laura. This is a scene where we meet her husband Wilf. I can literally see Laura tapping her feet in exasperation as Wilf
dawdles along.
dawdles along.
“I’ll go and get her husband.” Laura dashed off over the road as quickly as she could and banged on Agnes’ door. It seemed an eternity before it finally opened to reveal a very thin, very frail but extremely kind looking bespectacled man with wispy white hair. He was a lot older than Agnes and half her size and Laura was reminded of the Jack Sprat nursery rhyme.
“Can I help you?” Wilf asked in a surprisingly posh but very slow voice.
“It’s Laura from across the road, Wilf.” Laura found herself speaking slowly as well even though all she wanted to do was grab him and whisk him over the road. “Agnes has fainted I’m afraid and I can’t get her to wake up.”
“She does that quite a lot.” Wilf shuffle turned to walk down the hallway. “I’ll go and get her smelling salts, they’ll soon bring her round.” Laura watched as he continued his agonisingly slow shuffle down the hall and into the kitchen. She heard drawers opening and closing. “Now, where are they?” A cupboard door opened and closed. Laura kept tapping her foot and checking her watch.
“Can I help, Wilf?” Please let me help she thought to herself.
“No, no it’s fine.” Wilf had re-emerged in the hallway and Laura breathed a sigh of relief. “I’ve remembered where they are now. Last time she fainted she was in the bedroom so I’ll pop up there and get them for you.” Laura didn’t think he was capable of popping anywhere but she just smiled and watched him climb into his stair lift and ascend the stairs at the speed of a tortoise.
