Neatly removes £15 from naughty boy as he rushes by.
Right dearies, I'm off to bank the takings. Given the gender balance of the cast tonight, I thought I'd leave Sven in charge of refreshments. He's tall blond and handsome, but not very talkative. He knows how to pour drinks though. And how to count the money...

But Liz, don't you see, it's just such wonderful news.
You know how I'm going to marry Joe and all that, but that I'd been keeping myself pure, as you do.
Well, this angel sent me a text.. you know, the fellow who popped round earlier this evening... no, no, not the pizza boy, the angel fellow ....well, he reckoned I'm going to have a baby without having to..well..er...you know... The baby's going to be God's baby... in fact I have a sneaking suspicion we may be talking twins here...and everyone's going to call me "That Blessed Mary"...and that's to say nothing of the parrot... and.....
...er....
...could I stay here for a few nights while the gossip dies down?

I believe I just heard one of you ladies speaking about someone "evil"? Iwas just passing by, and would like to offer my services.
I also tend to discourage gossiping amongst simple towns-folks.
