On reflection Sam thought it had been a pretty good night….no it had been a jolly good night! Margret had not gotten overly tipsy (as she sometimes could), Tommie had turned out to be quite a good dancer with lot's of stamina (and not at all grabby!).
Then that…that…woman had shown up:
"HAAA didn't think ya'd run in to me did ya? I should have known I'd find ya like this! Not so prim and proper now are ya swanking about wrapping ya self around any thing in uniform not tied down!"
"I…I… beg your pardon! What do…I mean…who...? -ahem- I uh I think you must have, uh mistaken me for some one else."
"HAA HA don't try that on me ya stupid cow! I saw ya didn't I? All prim and proper in your fancy uniform like butter wouldn't melt in ya mouth! Just standing there looking down ya nose at us while them copper's was picking on my Johnny! Acting like he had done something wrong! Like he was any deferent than any body else….. like he shouldn't get his fair share! -snort- They just wanted it for them selves like as not! Not bad work if….."
"NOW hold on right there sergeant Milner and chief superintendent Foyle would never…ever…and how DAR you insinuate!"
"OHH NO MISSY! You stop right there trying to act all high and mighty like your better than the likes of me! You and your coppers always picking on my Johnny coming around to his home and his work! Always's trying to say he'd done something wrong when he an't done nothing that a hundred other's an't done! Treating him like some sort of criminal!"
"Well then he should stop acting like one! it's no fault of Mr., Milner and Mr. foyle for doing there jobs!"
"THERE JOBS! Lining there pockets that's what it is! And you better think agine if you think I'll take you talking to me like that! Just because you're all –respectable- HAH I'm sure your making out vary well for your self up there at that cop shop! Only girl in the whole place I'll bet. Then ya come down acting like I'm just some little tart like I'm some pice of trash….."
"LOOK you stop right there! I AM not going to listen to you slandering Paul and Mr. foyle and, and the hole station like that….and if you don't want people to think of you like that then I would have more of a care who you went around with!"
:sigh: she had not meant it to go that far, just calmly correct her and then walk away. Then she had said all those awful things about the station and the police and it sort of got a little out of her control then off course when the MP and bobby's showed up ..sigh.. and the cold press wasn't doing anything for her eye. She had no idea how she was going to explain it to Paul and Mr. Foyle! They were sure to find out…..
