”We gonna get married, me and Madeleine,” says Charles to Turdanrot as the latter comes in.
“Good idea,” says Turdanrot. “I’ll buy you a stiffener to celebrate. Only thing is I hate to lose Mado. She’s pretty good at this job.”
“Oh, I’m stayin’ on,” says Madeleine.”It’d be a helluva drag sittin’ at home while he’s out hackin’.”
“Thassright,” says Charles. “In fact, there’ll be no change, xcept that when we tear one off it’ll be legimate.”
“Well, a man’s gotta take it on the chin sooner or later,” says Turdanrot. “What’ll you have?”
“I don’t care”, says Charles.
“Well, I’m gonna serve you for once,” Turdanrot says gallantly to Madeleine, and he slaps her on the rump, which he seldom does save during business hours, and then only to warm up the atmosphere.
