December 14. “Button, the weather is lovely.

Do you want to chit chat or creep under the quilt and go to sleep?”

“Let’s try the latter for a change.”

“The temperature dropped to 14 degrees celcius yesterday. Newspapers carried shots of people wrapped in shawls and children wearing monkey-caps! Are you sure you don’t require something warm?”

“Very sure. Now go to sleep. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight, Button.”
