‘Kara?’
‘?’
‘Are you there, my love?’
‘Can you not talk normally Kaspar? What are you, a vole or something?’
‘Oh, sorry darling. Something awful is happening darling’
‘Oh what this time Kaspar? Insufficient grey Citroens on the central reservation?’
‘No, darling ,really awful. I think Kolin is running away’
‘Well, that doesn’t surprise me, has he come to his senses and gone to follow Kjell at last?’
‘Oh’
‘Well what did you expect you idiot, he has that awful domineering Kandy who thinks that the height of class is naming her chicks after menu items in a cafe; he can’t even enter his own nest!’
‘Oh’
‘She is unbearable, he adored her for years and she just treated him like an earthworm’
‘Oh’
‘So it is hardly surprising that he disappears at the first sign of real love, is it- don’t be so bloody dense Kaspar’
‘Oh’
‘And stop saying ‘oh’ like an idiot’
‘yes darling’
‘er darling, what is that on your ankle?’
‘It is my kiddie string Kaspar, don’t be stupid’
