Aziraphale was quite surprised to find that a woman had bothered to decipher the table of opening hours which was written in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and come into his shop at 2 am.

Nay, he said to himself, quite surprised does not do it justice.

He was rather surprised.

She was a very tall, very beautiful woman with chalk white skin and reddish gold hair piled on her head.

Approaching the table with a slightly flickering red mouth, she slammed a purple – nailed hand on the desk.

"You have somezing I wont."

Aziraphale stared, so taken aback that he did not bother to do it politely. "R- er, really? And what might that be, my dear?"

"You have ze knowledge and acquaintance of my huzzband."

"Erm," Aziraphale skimmed through all the men he knew: the librarian, the corner shop man, Crowley, the milkman, the busdriver…"

"Erm, is he a busdriver?"

"I zincerely hope not," she replied sharply. "He was a fine demon, juzzt a complete doormat."

Aziraphale was forced into being very surprizzed! Er, surprised.
