“For the last time, your weeks credit allowance is all used up. Come back tomorrow.”
“But I can’t go through an entire day without my sweets!”
{Number
36 and the Kiosk attendant - It’s Your Funeral}
Thursday is
Appreciation Day, so the day Number 36’s weekly allowance had been all used up
by was a Wednesday, and there was still another three days in the week, so how
would Number 36 manage? The kiosk attendant told 36 to come back tomorrow. Why
did he tell her that? Thursday was generally payday in Britain at that time, so perhaps that’s the
day in The Village when weekly credit allowances were placed on credit cards,
and Number 36 would be able to satisfy her sweet tooth. Except Number 6 bought
her a bag of sweets, seeing another lady in distress, although Number 6 said “Candy.”
Number 2 said Number 6 never eats candy, and that’s an Americanism. Being
English Number 6 should have said a bag of sweets!Be seeing you
