Div<strong>in</strong>ely Bonkers<br />

I take ano<strong>the</strong>r quick sp<strong>in</strong> around <strong>the</strong> campus<br />

<strong>to</strong> check for signs <strong>of</strong> mischief or malfeasance. <strong>The</strong><br />

recreation area is quite crowded with groups <strong>of</strong> gals<br />

play<strong>in</strong>g, poker, whist, g<strong>in</strong> rummy and backgammon.<br />

Bernadette and Lisa are m<strong>in</strong>gl<strong>in</strong>g. Every now and<br />

aga<strong>in</strong> Bernadette would reach under her skirt and<br />

extract a sheaf <strong>of</strong> bank-notes and make her pay-outs.<br />

Lisa religiously recorded each transaction on her<br />

smart-phone.<br />

I decide <strong>to</strong> go upstairs and change my blouse.<br />

As I enter <strong>the</strong> Elite land<strong>in</strong>g I can hear Lady Derby<br />

berat<strong>in</strong>g Yvonne and Janet for sub-standard grubb<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

I can also hear Yvonne argu<strong>in</strong>g petulantly. F<strong>in</strong>ally<br />

Derby runs out <strong>of</strong> patience.<br />

“If you would prefer I can write you up for<br />

slack<strong>in</strong>g and Miss Mor<strong>to</strong>n will take you up <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

library for six when she comes back from tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g,”<br />

she snaps.<br />

“Noooooooooooo!!!” I hear Mitch <strong>the</strong> Bitch<br />

wail. What a muff.
