Returning to the cabin he darted an accusing eye at the coffee-pot. But Killick, during the few moments he could spare from eavesdropping near the master's day-cabin, had for his part observed the Doctor's motions - as unscrupulous as ever where coffee and certain sweetmeats were concerned - and another pot was already on its way.Coffee, water and

Whether it relaxes the fibres, Stephen certainly likes his relaxed...as Hen once remarked.

I love coffee too, but Jack and Stephen are addicted. Btw, have we ever been told which "certain sweetmeats" Stephen particularly likes?

So Jack eats all the pies bacon, but Stephen drinks all the coffee. This seems fair :)

[esteven]

Oh, I will say nothing against it. After all, Stephen might need an extra spleen for a Christmas present. *g*

Do you recall those particular sweetmeats?

Re: Coffee

[ylla]

I don't. Stephen turns randomly greedy from time to time, but I don't know over what in particular :)

[esteven]

I recall that he loved pineapple and the walnuts Jack cracked with his hands. :D

Eh, the skinny scrawny ones are all alike - go for the caffeine and the sugar, never gain a pound ;-)

[esteven]

Hm, didn't work for me. I always go for the coffee and something sweet and the pounds are jumping on me.

Not for me then! I would never dream of soiling the Gutter's floor. Also, it might be too slippery by far, and that would mean someone is liable to cover it in sand, and where would that leave the Gutter's floor.

Heather will more likely look at it, say: "Look at this mess, one of you lot clear it up at once!"

These shoulders of mine slope you know, responsibility just slides off 'em! ;D

Re: Coffee

[heather_mist]

Oh yes! Wasn't very good at that aspect of it if truth be told, but it came with a nice hat...

Re: Coffee

[heather_mist]

Er - the delegation aspect I mean, not the rope's end!!! Not that I'm implying I'm good with a rope's end either... what I mean is... oh hell, there's no way out of this, is there?!

*has been taking lessons from JA in verbal lee shores*

I should go and get back to the writing. Coffee! I need coffee!!!

Maybe she needs esteven's shovel to dig her way out? You'll have to learn to be more assertive around here, heather, m'dear ;D
