Mr. Barazzuol

The Secluded Lot

1. “”I’d like to inquire about a lot.”” Page 115

2. “After the  Committal Service – when everything possible had been done for the Departed and the Bereaved had gone their sorrowful ways – something prompted Mr. Jerome to intrude on the old man’s privacy – perhaps a word or two of comfort, which he knew so well how to administer.” Page 119

3. “”Ouch!” yelled Mr. Jerome. “That cursed bee stung me.”” Page 119

4. “”I’m not soliciting business. The bees are just going about their normal and natural pursuits. Besides, Rose Haven Nectar brings a special price.”” Page 120

5. “”This is preposterous!” Mr. Jerome exploded, his highly trained sensitivities deeply offended.” Page 120

6. “”Why should you want me to stop?” “For obvious reasons: we can’t have the mourners stung…”” Page 120

7. “At that particular second Mr. Jerome was fully occupied, easing another attacker gently off the lapel of his serge suit. All his spare time would be devoted to a solution of Mr. Blake’s special problem. It must be illegal, he thought, with every intention of rushing back to the office to examine the small print.” Page 120

8. “”Mr. Jerome, I have reached an important decision: I should like to buy another lot.”” Page 121
