‘Someone to care for’
Do I smell food?
Good day. Unstable. Definitely unstable.
Hey, hey! Good afternoon, miss. Sorry I can’t stop. I’m off to India to have tea with the maharajah. Cheerio.
Bring the bread, will you, Grandpa?
Yes sir, certainly sir.
And the pepper and salt, please.
Right away, sir. Oh! Sausage and egg, my favourite.
How was India?
India? I tell you something, I got up this morning and I shot an elephant in my pyjamas.
How he got into my pyjamas I shall never know.
You’ve heard it before.
That’s terrible. We can’t let that happen, Grandpa.
No, defiantly no. Can’t be having any skwodging going on.
Goodnight Daddy goodnight Grandpa.
Goodnight children.
Goodnight my darlings.
You’ve done it now, haven’t you?
You think Coggins might do a deal? So much a week?
Him down the road? Sure, He’s so mean he wouldn’t light your pipe if his house was on fire. That was lightening I heard! You know what that means? I’ll be up all night, rain pouring in.
Why don’t you sleep in the workshop?
I’m the workshop? You promised to fix my bedroom roof. I shall be sitting in bed with my umbrella up all night. I wouldn’t mind but the umbrella has as many holes as the roof! When are you going to fix it, eh Caractacus?
I will Grandpa. It’s just…
Caractacus, my boy. Listen… It’s time you woke up. - At your age, I did a day’s work… For a day’s pay, polishing boots. I was the smartest batman in the army. When my Brigadier went into action, the natives were so blinded by his boots, they couldn’t see to fight. Well, I’m off to bed, or should I say off to catch me death of cold.
Goodnight Grandpa, I will look at the roof, I promise.
Hummmm
Come on. What do you think of this? Isn’t she a beauty?
That’s a nice pile of junk, my boy.
It needs a little work, but there’s a fine engine under here.
It doesn’t go, though, does it?
We’re off! Hurray!
It won’t work, of course. Another catastrophe about to happen.
Come on, Grandpa, push.
With my back, my boy, I have to save my strength for the West Indies, got a long way to go you know.
Can we stay and watch?
We’d better go. You know what your dad’s like when he’s working.
But Grandpa we wanted to stay and watch.
I’ll make you a nice cup of tea. Don’t overdo it, my boy. You might exhaust yourself. Come on! I guess my trip to the West Indies can wait a while. Don’t suppose it will go anywhere, heh.
It’s awfully quiet in there.
Come on children breakfast is ready.
