The Lady walked through the hole in the wall, followed the corridor for a few steps, and stepped through the broken door into the grand ballroom of the Elixir Spa Resort Hotel and Leisure Complex, where the Dropped Apostrophe sat in a far corner, away from the mess in the centre of the room, painting something on a large piece of card; she made a point of looking up to the clear yet cold blue sky through the hole in the ceiling above, and then stopped moving and looked at her nincompoop of a leader.
“I sincerely hope you are going to pay for all of this damage,” she said, kicking a white plastic sun lounger and gesturing towards it questionably, before continuing, “otherwise you’ll have to find a new place to call your base of operations – you are in charge of this group after all.”
The Apostrophe sighed, put down his paintbrush, looked up, smiled, and walked around the table, saying “Of course, my dear Lady, in fact, my old friend Bob is on his way over now to have a look at things as we speak.”
The Lady looked mortified, replying “Bob… that dodgy builder person you met in… oh no, no, most definitely no – no, we are going to my official builders to get this all repaired – this is a quality hotel complex after all.”
Now the smile on the Apostrophe’s face faltered, “they will cost an arm an… they’ll be more expensive than Bob, much more; surely we can come to some sort of arrangement, my dear Lady…?”
“Yes, you will pay the going rate for these repairs,” The Lady interrupted, “and keep that group of… of… people under control or else you are all out… now come along, we’ll go immediately… there’s no time like the present – I’ve already called their office and said we’re on the way… come along…”; resigned, the Apostrophe sighed once more and followed The Lady through the broken door and out of the ballroom.
