Monday's Child # 37

Illustration by Clara Burd

This is Monday' Child # 37:
------

Clara stretched as much at she could to reach up to the hanging flower-pot over at the neighbours, the Robertsons. The basket holding the pot with the peach-coloured begonias was knocked off the hook and fell down. Now, Clara had to try to replace it. But it was hopeless, as she was too short.
She knocked on the door and waited.
After several very long minutes, the door opened and Mrs. Robertson said: 'Why Clara, what are you doing here?'
"I'm sorry Mrs. Robertson. I tried to find the key and the basket fell down."
'That's alright, dear. Let me help you. There. Come in and have some milk and cake!'

Gilbert Smith - Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus Week 45

Welcome to week forty-five of Saturday Centus.

Please read Mrs. Matlock's instructions after my text which follows here:
------
"What did you see?" asked the officer.
"I just happened to look up, when I saw the globs of snow falling from the roof and understood that they must be shovelling. It scared me when I saw him."
"Why do you say that?"
"They usually have a safety-harness and line in case they slip. He was doing a silly dance near the edge and did not have the the safety-rope attached. Then he tripped and fell."
"Did you know the deceased?"
"Yes. Gilbert Smith's his name. He had never been accused of being intelligent..."
"Thank you for time," said the policeman and turned to interview another witness.
