The Bag Lady

Always a handy guy to have around, James, the valet. His duties were written in a contract by the head of the household, Miss Scarlet Jones. Miss Jones was a stickler for neatness and decorum, at least in public. She rang the bell that was heard in the lower part of the house, for the servants. He entered the room with a soft knock, “yes, Miss Jones?”

“The usual, James, and when we’re done, don’t forget to press my dress…again.”

Joe tried to bury his wife’s outcry because it was louder this year at tax time. This year he had tried to absorb some of the money that would be due investing in contemporary commodities, hoping to smooth out their debt. They were saddled with high insurance costs and needed to find a way to compensate. Even though his wife’s illness was their main financial drain, he couldn’t contemplate how best to manage their finances.

It seemed as if his step over the threshold of the cell gate caused him to only mumble quietly. His loud, often obnoxious tirades were incapacitated! You can draw many conclusions over this trip into his more conservatory life and be joyful. “All hale the judge and jury!”
