Blackwork
“At the breakfast table, Shelly and Harvey talked about yesterday’s discovery of an unpleasant smell in Shelly’s sewing room.
“Let me see.” Harv hunted and Shelly made another search, without success. Harv went and fetched a claw hammer, and he pried off a section of baseboard near the door, where the smell seemed strongest. To his amazement, not one but two dead mice tumbled out.
“Whuff!” he said, trying not to inhale. Shelly retired to the kitchen. She may have been a strong, independent woman..., but she still considered some things to be man’s work.
