Mrs. Engels (2015)
“The Other Half In search of a missing slipper, I come through the middle doors of the parlor, and there on the chair in the corner, on the wolsey bought special for the move, is a strange man, lounging.
“I’m afraid Mr. Engels is from home, sir.”
He sweeps his wet hair back. “I was told to wait here.”
“You’ll have to come back.”
“I am sorry, but that was not what I was told at the door.”
“Sunday is what you ought’ve been told. We receive on a Sunday.”
“That’s no good. No ...good at all.”
“If you have a card, I can make sure Mr. Engels gets it.”
“A card, a card, that’s very well, a card is something, better than nothing, but now that I’m here and have been made sit for so long, and with the water coming down outside, and being without a proper coat and liable for a soaking, maybe all these factors considering I should be allowed to see the lady of the house?MoreLess
