Episode 77: "Carry On Policeman" (May 19th 2.55pm)
Su broke off from her sweeping and leaned on the brush, before saying, under
her breath. 'Yew don't want to hang around with her Yaxley. Working in a
burger bar she is. Her Dad spent a fortune getting her through college and
now look at her; living at home and sponging off her Mum and Dad again' Yaxley
crammed his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders. Although he
actually wanted to shout at the stupid woman he decided to be diplomatic
and replied, 'Well, Su...I wouldn't know anything about all that would
I? I only met
the girl yesterday morning'. Su began to sweep again and half-turned away
from Farcett. 'Yew know her well enough for her to have stayed here last
night. I don't suppose yew've had chance to read the details of your lease,
but I don't allow overnight visitors....next time it'll cost yew twenty pound
if yew want 'a friend' round.... Just yew remember that'.
As Farcett was about to question Su further, there came a shout from the
top of the stairs. Fiona wanted to know where he'd got to and indicated that
she had a special surprise for him upstairs. Su, now much calmer, touched
Yaxley's arm and said 'I won't keep you...goo on. She's a good girl really,
I'm not feeling all that much today'. Yaxley grinned and bounded up the stairs
three at a time to his room.
He stood in the open door and leaned against the doorframe. Fiona was sitting

Yaxley
Farcett was trying to edge past a mumbling Su Parsons as Fiona Morgan climbed
the stairs to his room at 25B Main Street, Barnham. Fiona had been out of
earshot as Su made her disparaging remarks about the girl's current employment.
Yaxley, already feeling rather protective of the girl, couldn't let Su's
comments go unchallenged. He paused by Su as she continued to sweep mounds
of dust out of the front door, a little too aggressively. 'What was that
Su ?' enquired Yaxley, 'I couldn't hear because of the traffic'
dressing
table mirror, brushing her long hair away from her head, which she had thrown
back, a bit like those actresses that like to tell us to 'wash the strength
back in'. 'Well come in then' said Fiona impatiently. 'I hope you're feeling
better now, Yaxley' and she turned to face him. Farcett couldn't be sure,
but he was almost certain that Fiona was looking different...sort of Charlie
Dimmock-ish , and his suspicion was confirmed when he saw her bra hanging
from the hook on the back of the door. He gulped and glanced at the clock....2:55
on Cup Final day !!! He looked back to Fiona and groaned. 'It's the Cup Final
in five minutes' he said weakly. 'I don't think I'll come in. I was going
to change my shirt, but this'll do for now'. Fiona smiled again and replied,
'Well why don't you
just
watch the second half'. This was a dilemma that Yaxley had not had to negotiate
before...He looked at the clock again: 2:56. He hadn't missed a Cup Final
since he watched Chelsea beat Leeds in 1970. Although he knew it was most
definitely the wrong thing to do, he rushed across the room, grabbed Fiona's
hand and dragged her out of the door and down the stairs towards the Skaters
Run and Arsenal versus Newcastle United.
