It's Not What It Looks Like!

by Geezworld234

It always a challenge for Emmet Hawksworth to get to work in a morning without being sung at, but this particular morning proves to be even more difficult when he has to sneak Hyacith's youngest sister out the door without being seen as Mrs Bucket is likely to jump to the wrong conclusion, what with her never being able to listen!

11. The Warden Residence

Liz waited patiently by the front window to stall Hyacinth, nerves already getting the better of her because the plan had been altered to accommodate for Rose's missing keys.

The plan was now to intercept Hyacinth the moment she saw her come out of her front door by telling her about the Barker-Finches having the police round sometime this week to inspect their frequently burgled establishment, to give them tips on how to keep their valuables safer. This was bound to get Hyacinth on her hobby horse; she would be so wound up in moaning about Sonia Barker-Finch that she wouldn't see Emmet or even better, she would be so wrapped up in it, she would invite Liz in for coffee for a chance to voice her opinions even further.

Elizabeth jumped out of her skin when the telephone rang; she hesitated for a while before deciding if she should answer. Finally deciding it could be someone important she picked up the phone. Getting so wrapped up in her conversation with her daughter, Gail, she failed to see Hyacinth emerge from the side of her house.
