WIP extract book 2 of 6 SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd Chapter 17 Examination Technique “You’re amazing Bard! How do you know all this stuff? I was lost from the start!” Interspersed with ample kisses and cuddles the two sweethearts spend hours on the sofa, just talking about life, about parents, about relationships, and about interests, passions, practice, purpose, and hope. “He’s as bright as a button isn’t he? What’s actually wrong with Grandpa? He seems perfectly normal to me.” “He has heart trouble. Two heart attacks already. He can sit and chat and drink tea, no problem. But he has real problems with mobility and chronic fatigue. And low blood pressure!” “Can he walk far? Into town? Back up this hill?” “That’s his big problem. The Seamen’s Mission by the docks is basically his whole life now, it’s his social club, he goes there two or three times a week. We’re all going there together on Thursday night, a special dinner, before you sail on Friday.” “The Seamen’s Mission? You’ve never actually told me what Grandpa’s job was.” Kayt (Manx, pronounced Cat, meaning kitty) - A watercolour painting of an attractive 17 year old girl. She has gorgeous long dark golden blonde hair and her eyes are dark hazel brown. Her face has a picture perfect smile revealing lovely white teeth. She is wearing a lurid lime green crop top dance outfit over a shapely body. AngryBard - A watercolour painting of a slim, attractive 14 year old boy - he has neat dark brown hair, trimmed nicely with a gentle wave on the crown. His eyes are a beautiful deep blue. His face has a thoughtful expression with a hint of a smile. He’s wearing a plain white T shirt. AngryBard is rarely angry unless you interfere with his book reading habit. copyright © Scott Rochester 2026
