Chapter 17 joy of last night

In the morning, it rained cats and dogs.The goats stood in the pen, looking despondent, refusing to go near the half-dried hay that was being fed to them. "They don't need to eat now," Hillary said. "They will eat when they are very hungry." "Maybe," said Helen, "maybe we'll have to buy some hay at last." Gigi is feeding the lamb.They are getting bigger and more disobedient.They supported their bodies on their hind legs and looked out through the low door of the sheep pen. When Gigi came in with the milk bucket, they all crowded around him.The lambs should be weaned and they can go out to graze with the other sheep.

After work, Gigi took a shower and spread the books out on the kitchen table.Three months earlier, before summer vacation had begun, he was due to finish a history paper, and the teacher was furious that he hadn't done it.He wrote a little bit between chores, and Marianne sat down to help him when she got back from the slumber party. At noon, the hockey coach called.Marianne was still working on her script in the living room, and Gigi heard her pick up the extension phone and put it down again.The coach informed him that the game had been canceled because the field was flooded.Gigi let out a long sigh of relief, and continued to write the thesis.A minute later, the phone rang again.

"I don't have time to pick it up." Helen came in with a lot of eggs. "I have to finish these cheeses quickly, or they will go bad." Gigi answered the phone, and it was Jamie. "How's it going, Gigi?" Jiji heard a noisy voice on the phone, as if someone "more `duo good` books are all in Fuwa T x `T novel download` station w W w.`F v`a L .c `n" picked up He got the extension, but he was too flustered to pay attention to whether the extension was hung up or not. "Great," he said, "the game is cancelled." "That's great!" said Jamie, "so you're going to come tonight?"

Gigi suddenly felt very embarrassed. He fell asleep last night before he could figure out what to say, and at this moment, Helen was standing by the sink behind him washing eggs. Lies to lie to Jamie.But if he declined the invitation, Jamie might never talk to him again.He needed time to think, but as usual, there was no time. "I think I should." It was the best answer he could think of. Although not very convincing, Jamie finally got the answer he wanted. "Okay," he said, "do you know what I'm up to? There's no return bus until two o'clock in the morning."

"Then what should I do?" Gigi thought, maybe this is a good chance to get rid of it, but Jamie didn't expect to have another clever plan. "If you don't want to wake up your parents, you can sleep in my house." Gigi's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that Jamie really wanted to reconcile with him this time. "You're very thoughtful, Jamie," he said. "What a good idea." "Okay," said Jamie, "then I'll meet you at the pier at nine-twenty." Gigi put down the phone and stared at it for a long time. "What a good idea?" Helen asked.

"Nothing," Gigi replied.Then he went into the living room and saw Marian lounging by the fire, marking a script with a red pen. "Were you eavesdropping on the phone just now?" "what phone?" "is that you?" "Go away, I'm busy." He slammed the door shut and walked out.It didn't matter if she heard it anyway. Gigi packed up her papers and ate her lunch.After dinner, before he could start writing, Phil brought his girlfriend Carol to help set up the warehouse. Gigi went out to work with them, and after a while Helen and Hillary joined in.Carol, who works in a tavern in neighboring Ballyringen, can buy drinks and potato chips at wholesale prices.It was the Liddy's custom to go to the dance without a ticket, but Saturday dance lessons required paying for snacks and drinks, which Carol provided for the Liddy's.

The rain stopped and the sky brightened again.The weather wasn't too cold, but Hillary still lit the stove.The warehouse is an old building, somewhat damp and needs to be baked often even in good weather. "Have you seen the new cops?" Phil asked. "No," said Helen. "I didn't know there was a new policeman," Gigi said. "He's kind of interesting," Phil said. "Haven't you met him yet?" Carol said to Helen. "He's not bad." "Really?" Phil was a little unhappy, "I'm afraid not." "Of course he was great," Carroll said.

"Just a fiddler," Phil said. "Can he play the violin?" Helen asked. "That's what we need," Hillary said. "A second violinist. It's hard to find even with a lantern." "Really? Then you should go and listen to his performance." Phil said, "He played a lot of wonderful pieces at the Green Bar last night." "A policeman dares to stay in Green's bar?" "He danced," Carol said.She was a dancer herself, and danced very well, and was a frequent guest at Liddy's balls. "You should go and see, Helen, he dances as light as a feather."

"What you said really made our imagination run wild." Hillary said. "But, I swear," Phil said, "it's true, he caught us on Tuesday and played with us late into the night on Friday." Helen laughed. "Sounds like my kind of cop. Bring him here sometime." "Why didn't I think of that idea!" Phil said. "I should invite him, but I don't know if he will come." "Do you know where he lives?" Gigi asked. "I don't know." Phil replied, "However, I'll ask. There must be someone who is better." `n "I know."

The two of them left with this task, Hillary returned to the study, Helen continued to make cheese, and Gigi continued to read. But he couldn't see it anyway, how should he tell Jamie?He can't miss the appointment. He suddenly thought of a solution, a very simple solution, and it was strange why he hadn't thought of it earlier.Gigi still has a lot to do, but if I save my history homework for tomorrow...
