The usual suspect

(1966 April)

Last night we had a Time here. Since 3 p.m. the elements had been whipping about with frenzy. The wind rattled every pane and the rain lashed and tore at the house. All this sent poor Dee into wild terror. Poor little dog barked back at it as best he could and ripped and tore about so we shut the doors on him so he'd stay in the kitchen and watched TV - LL had come down to start for bed and I was still sewing on the little nipper's beret [for LRK] when I heard L howl from below - Dee had misbehaved in the bathroom! "Polly, there's a lake in there! --- --- --- ---." So down I went to see what I could do to restore equilibrium - started to mop up when a Big drop hit me on top of my head! The roof was leaking badly and poor little Dee was unjustly accused.
