Wonderful But Not All That Good

Everyone is now back in Adelaide

Margaret's wonderful holiday is over. She meets her friend Esme for coffee.

It was wonderful, Esme, says Margaret.

Was it? says Esme.

(Esme is jealous).

Yes, says Margaret. And Gaius was wonderful too.

Was he? says Esme doubtfully.

Yes, says Margaret. He bought Armagnac and Champagne. We did everything together.

Did you sleep together? asks Esme.

Not exactly, says Margaret.

Did you fight? asks Esme.

No, says Margaret. But we disagreed over a limestone.

A geological argument? asks Esme.

No, it was more personal, says Margaret. I called him Ouvert.

The limestone? says Esme.

Yes, says Margaret. He was gorgeous. But I 've lost him.

Never mind, says Esme. Limestones are two a penny.

Not this one, sighs Margaret.

She looks unhappy.

So the holiday wasn't that good, says Esme.
