Malvina came up with a brilliant plan: she would open a separate, secret bank account. Then if she got married and divorced all the spare money could go into that account. She figured she needed to get married and divorced about four times, depending upon the profitability of the rejected spouse.
All was going fine until the third spouse. He pushed her under a bus.
Without being too nasty, everyone was rather pleased.
Clash of the schemes.

Yes – loosely modelled on the 2nd wife of my grandfather who was the 5th husband (and she was only in her mid-20s!)

Some schemes are killed by their own complexity and well, complicity.

My neighbour is called Malvina, the only Malvina I’ve ever met. I don’t think she has a secret bank account but maybe I should warn her away from buses….

The only Malvina I know is a famous NZ opera singer – Dame Malvina Major. She’s most famous for having once being accompanied on the piano by myself as she sang a couple of Christmas carols!!
