how was he going to get up again hv do people build their blankity blank houses without basements anyway he wanted to kno from the very bowels of the earth i had visions of feeding him for weeks by lowering a pail to his prison quarters while a contractor practically demolish ed the house to release him when the radio blared out its aohice to have a man ar ound the house he must have heard it and decided he d rather twist a ver tebrae than stick around this humble home much longer for i heard an agonizing groan soon i head appeared below the floor level followed bj a pair of broad shoulders a mud covered parka blue jeans and a pair of flight boots not a word was spoken he attached another cable to the kitchen tap turned on the juice and in less than a minute the silver tinkle of water gush ing into basin sink and toilet was a glorious sound all he said as he accepted a sizeable cheque for his service was better keep them taps runnin till spring they are off just now but this lovely false spring will soon vanish for a few weeks another flurry of snow is bound to cover that patch of green grass and the tulips arc going lo be surprised when a dark cold blanket again smo
