"Hello, Mrs. Scrubbit, would you mind if I brought you another guest?" Willy said to the woman as he walked through the door, me following behind him.
"Of- of course not, dear," Mrs. Scrubbit said,, awkwardly. "Welcome to Scrubbit and Bleacher's, Guest Home and Laundry. Noodle! Put that wrecked book down and get our guests some gin, poor kid doesn't have enough clothes to keep herself warm!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Scrubbit, you have been very, very kind," I thanked, grateful that I have a place to stay tonight.
A little girl came with three glasses of gin. She placed a cup on the counter for Mrs Scrubbit, one gave one glass each for me and Willy.
"Thank you, Noodle."
I watched as the girl mouthed a few words before leaving, not saying a word.
Weed the strong prince?
Weed the strong prince... weed the strong print... read the strong print... read the small print...
Read the small print!
I took a sip of the glass of gin and so did Willy, "This is extremely strong stuff!" we coughed at the same time, and then started laughing at each other, "Jinx! Jinx again!"
"Alright dear, that's enough for you, you two seem to not be able to handle the strong gin- The entrepreneurial package shall be good for you. One sovereign a night for the room, you won't have to pay until six tomorrow. Does that seem alright?"
"Yes, Mrs. Scrubbit, thank you so much."
"Now, sign here, and we're all done," she took out a contract and put it on the counter. She pointed at a line, "Just sign right here, dear."
Read the small print...
I started pulling the end of the piece of paper, "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh." And when I finally came to a stop, I spoke again, "Meh, the words are too tiny, whatever." And with that, I signed the piece of contract.
'Oh, well, dear. I shall bring you to your room! Mr. Wonka I suppose you know the way back up?"
'Yes, I do, Mrs. Scrubbit. Thank you so much," the pretty boy said- What? He ain't pretty. Not at all. Willy walked up the stairs, back to his room. "I'll see you tomorrow, Cora."
"See you," I muttered under my breath like a whisper no one could hear before Mrs. Scrubbit brought me to my room through multiple staircases.
