As he spoke, Reg was absently stroking the small mouse. “I think that one’s yours.” Mr Akroyd said gruffly. “Oh, I couldn’t!” Reg quickly put in. “It’s your job. You make them to sell.” “Look around you, Lad. I’ve more here than will ever sell in my life time. It’s hard times we’re living in and people don’t buy things like this much any more. I can’t stop, though. It’s what I do, even if no one ever sees them but me.” “I’ll always treasure it. Not just because I love it but because you made it and I saw it made. It’s a little bit home to take with me.” Reg placed the little mouse on his night stand where he could see it and decided he would take it with him wherever he went. “I’ll always have a little bit of Garnham wherever I go.” He murmured, stroking it again. |

Thanks for encouraging comments everyone. I've got to the point where I have to write this, even if, as Reg says,
but it is nice to know people are enjoying it with me. |

Thanks Pat - though a little concerned about the phrase that scarlet fever only attacks children - wasn't that the thing Rosalie had very badly? |
