I’m having a terrible time trying to get the washing dry. I hung it out this morning – just my husband’s shirt and trousers and things – but it’s been raining all day.
The neighbour stuck her head out her window and asked why I was hanging the washing on the line when it was raining? What does your husband think of you standing in the rain hanging out the laundry? Nosey Parker.
So, the clothes won’t dry, but that’s alright. I was thinking I’d take my husband’s things and put them in the Salvation Army’s used clothing bin. I’ll do that once they’re dry.
I suppose the bullet hole in the back of the shirt won’t matter. As long as it’s clean.
I didn’t see that coming! What a great short piece.

I’d suggest she use that particular shirt for a dusting cloth.

Not at all! You have that negative capability that Keats spoke of —you persistently remind me of Browning’s Dramatic Monologues.
