The barmaid greeted her, “Hello Nance, I see you brought the old skinflint with you this time.”
I had my doubts about Tes but you don't question a hero.

Terry “call me Tes” Makepiece was a hero. During the time I was shielded against Covid he did shopping and took the dog for long walks. The prices in the shops were shocking, he said. When I could get out and about again I found the prices weren't so bad. Perhaps they'd gone down. When I took the dog for a walk, Nancy took me straight to the Rose and Crown.
The barmaid greeted her, “Hello Nance, I see you brought the old skinflint with you this time.” I had my doubts about Tes but you don't question a hero.

There's a lesson to be learnt from this story, although I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps we should question what makes a hero. Nice one, Derek. Comments are closed.
