the ramble dump

Agaffa cheekily shovelled another biscuit into her large mouth.

'I just found it, I had no idea it was there, promise...'

Miss Darley was not convinced. 'I am not convinced,' she said. 'How many more do you have?'

'Ah,' said Agaffa, tapping her wrinkled nose. 'That only time will tell.'

Miss Darley snorted. 'I shall starve to death and it will all be because of you!' she said dramatically, lifting her hand to her head in the theatrical way of displaying her distress.

Agaffa just shrugged. 'I no longer have the conscience to care,' she said, retrieving another biscuit.

'Please can I have a biscuit?' said Miss Darley.

'No.'

'Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?'

'No.'

'A third round of begging is not worth my dignity. You will just have to hand over a biscuit.'
