The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel (9)
“On the following day she telephoned the delicatessen to tell Isabel that she was now up and about and that it looked as if the vomiting had stopped. She felt well enough to come in to work but thought it wiser to remain off for a further day in case she was still infectious. Isabel encouraged her in this. “The last thing you want is to pass these things on,” she said. “One wouldn’t wish projectile vomiting on anyone.”
After Isabel had rung off, Eddie, who had overheard Isabel’s side of the ...conversation, called out to her, “What did you say about projectile vomiting? Is she still doing it?”
“Why the big interest in it?” asked Isabel. Vomiting was vomiting, she thought, projectile or otherwise.
Eddie defended himself. “Well, it is pretty interesting, isn’t it? I wonder how far she was projecting? Two or three feet, do you think?”
Isabel assumed an expression of disgust.MoreLess
