So now I've had the enormously guilty pleasure of following your journey from the safety of an armchair where I can remain warm and dry throughout. And you leave us with a cliff-hanger of an ending today, fleeing that guest house. I look forward to the next installments!Susan Scheidhttp://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-32030477514058653952012-12-12T00:21:41.478+00:002012-12-12T00:21:41.478+00:00This is hilarious!

My inclination, however, would be to seek an instant upgrade in the accommodations as soon as I spotted "The Sailor's Armpit" or encountered kippers with the smell of "an old fisherman's crotch."

Having said that, the gist of it is correct (eg the curtain disaster, the low-cut neck-line, the single residency, the reclusive husband). But I've embellished for humorous effect! It's artistic licence with a hard kernel of reality, should we say.
