Notes: Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Turner discuss the latter's recent good fortune.


“They say there’s no gift like the present,” remarked Mrs. Turner before taking a sip of tea.
“So true,” concurred Mrs. Hudson as she put her cup in its saucer.

The landladies looked over at the upright machine in the corner.

“But a hoover of German engineering comes very close,” blurted Mrs. Hudson, unable to control her awe.

“It does!” exclaimed Mrs. Turner.

“And he wasn’t a tenant?”

“No, just a paying guest. Of course, he was a bit untidy, but aren’t they all?”

“Indeed.” Mrs. Hudson sipped her tea and contemplated fortune’s whims and the generosity of paying guests.
