The New Adventures of Shanty and Poxball, Episode 4

Shanty shifted sideways on his chair. He had seen this Columbo recently, and his mind drifted to the other night. Poxball, looking distinctly Guillaume-y, began to hiccough. Poxball suggested tea, but made no move toward the kettle. She continued ironing Shanty's work shirts. He stood up, waited for the dizziness to pass, and turned left into the kitchen.

"Normal, P.B., or Lady Grey?"

"Ooh, nor-mal, Shanty, please."

"I like you."

"Thanks."
