You're in luck, old bean! I found a tin of compromised salmon down in the bilge. I'll let you have it for 1200 pounds (airmail postage included).

We played a game 16 years ago. He blundered his queen in the opening and quietly imploded. To this very day he owes me 1200 pounds and a small armadillo.

Well I just tossed my first 800 word submission in the waste basket. I chose devotion as my subject but I now see it's "emotion", close but no cookie. πŸ™ Thanks for taking up the chore Pondy. I will now begin on emotion.
