Anyway, back to Penelope.

She displays all the usual signs: receiving and making odd phone calls at peculiar hours; staying out late with ‘friends from work’;  being dropped off some distance from home on her return. 

One night I secreted myself behind “Bessie” and kept a watchful eye. 

Sure enough about midnight a sports car pulled up just down the road and out got my wife, as bold as brass!

Then, just at that moment I spotted it! 

On the tarmac beneath the Morris was a large oil slick, just beneath the sump! 

I fear I may have blown a gasket! 

What do you think?

Dear Piedro,

If you have not blown a gasket, you ought to have done!

You have no option, Piedro!

You must strip her down immediately, clean her up as best you can and give her a thorough and complete servicing!
 

And first thing in the morning, leave your car with a reputable mechanic!
