A DELICATE DELIVERY

Early this morning an enormous pantechnicon arrived to deliver a packing crate larger than I have ever seen before!

At first I feared, now the house is full of cardboard boxes containing the displaced exhibits from his Museum, Wilson was going to ask me to move into the crate and live there, but I was relieved to learn that the van

will return tomorrow to collect it and refund W's deposit.

Nërp removed one of the crate's end panels and we all trooped in to see what had been delivered – once the protective wrapping had been stripped away, several beautiful and expensive-looking glass display cases stood revealed.


'Vitrines!' Wilson exclaimed, 'They're called Vitrines – aren't they fab?'


'Were they very, um, expensive?' I enquired – Wilson replied that they were worth every penny.


Honestly, it's not the pennies I'm worried about, so much as the pounds – I expect I shall find out exactly how worried I should be once my VISA bill arrives…
