The swings were magnificent. We simply swung, sucking mint humbugs and chatting until ten to four in the afternoon. I bid Mary farewell, and ran home.
AND NOW, LADYS AND GENTLEMEN, THE BIT SO IMPORTANT IT NEEDS CAPITOL LETTERS:
I ARRIVED HOME JUST IN TIME TO FIND THE HOUSE IN DARKNESS. THE ESB WORKERS HAD GONE, AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE SITTING ROOM: AOIFE, MEABHDH, MAMMY, DADDY AND MACKEREL, MY DOG. THE OIL LAMPS WERE OUT, AND SO WERE THE CANDLES. THIS WAS IT.
I SAT DOWN AND WAITED FOR THE BIG MOMENT...........................flicker.....................twinkle....................................B.O.O.M.............THE WHOLE ROOM WAS FLOODED WITH LIGHT. I NOTICED LOTS OF COBWEBS -shudder- AND IT WAS A FABULOUS MOMENT, AS THE ROOM WAS BATHED IN A MIRACULOUS AMBER GLOW, AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF:
"If all this is possible, who's to say anything is impossible?"
THE END
