55said, stretching out his arms. %u201cI put up partitions between the supporting pillars and through that small corridor, is a toilet. The walls are tanked and plastered and the floor is concreted with false timber flooring on top. I had a plumber install two radiators which run off the house boiler and there are ventilator fans with ducts carrying stale air out into the back garden and sucking fresh air from the front.%u201d%u201cWow!%u201d she exclaimed. %u201cIt%u2019s so big, like adding a whole extra floor to your cottage. I don%u2019t seem to have a cellar.%u201d%u201cI%u2019m told by a neighbour in one of the cottages a few doors away that all of them have cellars. Your previous occupiers must have blocked it off when they installed your downstairs toilet. It%u2019s silly. A cellar like this adds far more scope than a downstairs cramped-up loo.%u201d %u201cPeople do all kids of daft things. Maybe they were quite old...%u201d she started to say.%u201cNo, I knew them for a while. They were in their late thirties. Very middle class, and she was rather pretty. I fantasised a bit about shagging her,%u201d he interrupted.%u201cHuh, at least she took your mind off putting worms into your cock. Why did they move?%u201d%u201cI think she got pregnant. I%u2019m not certain. I heard her retching a lot in the morning and her tummy swelled. Sure signs of morning sickness and pregnancy,%u201d he replied.%u201cDid she get rosy cheeks, look healthy and happy?%u201d Elaine asked.He shook his head. %u201cNo, quite the opposite. She looked white, sickly, drawn, and very unhappy. He seemed to be miserable, too. All the time before, they seemed like a happy, contented couple.%u201d%u201cIt all sounds very strange, she said and then looking at the desk and computing system, %u201cIs that where you edit?%u201d%u201cYes. Grab a chair and come and sit next to me.%u201d He told her.Spider
