She\u2019s incredibly bright and she does well at school, although this time NutJob seems to know something that she doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n She looks puzzled and thoughtful at the same time.<\/p>\n She looks as if she\u2019s about to speak again, but doesn\u2019t actually know what to say. She\u2019s blinking, her mouth is closed, her cheek muscles seem a little tense as she begins to clench her teeth. And then releases the tension by looking down.

It\u2019s a traditional, old fashioned greengrocer and general store, with a tiny tea shop in one corner. It\u2019s not trying to compete with the caf\u00e9s, and it doesn\u2019t have the same frontage rights, but is does have four tables in one corner. It\u2019s popular with local workers and there\u2019s always somebody sitting in the small confined space.<\/p>\n KristalClear and NutJob would rather have just a little more<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page30 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page30 \u2013 Next as long as he ate them all inside the shop.
