Sentence
The Fourhundredandninetyseventh
Theresa Somerville's
day did not go as planned: after starting her shift in the rarefied
atmosphere of the top-floor Children's Ward, where she played a cat
in a top-hat, to much hilarity, she helped one of the temporary
porters – a matriculated stident at Heriot Watt University who was
working for the summer to finance a trip to Turin to see the shroud
which some claim to be the Mandylion of Edessa – to load a laundry
trolley with linen from beds vacated by patients discharged this
morning, she then spent part of her break trying to reach Jamie or
Stacy and still failing, though she did make contact with Ryan in
Crawley (somehwere in Sussex) whose number was very close to Stacey's
but no cigar, she was stung by a wasp! ouch – it was very sore and,
at the time of writing, she is still getting sharp
pains up and down
her arm, which several voddies have not anaesthetised; and she is due
in The Chaplaincy Centre tomorrow morning – “oh, woe is me,”
she thought, but then the distracting WPC Isa Urquhart popped her
head round the door and offered a '45 Coffee' heavily laced with
Laphraoigh: “mmmm, sounds lovely,” said Teri to her favourite
cousin – “but don't tell the others I wrote that,” she begged!
