The tea lady is about to throw her annual "overdue"
afternoon tea party. This marathon tea
drinking event is an amnesty for all those slow coaches who’ve borrowed books
off the writer and won’t return them until they’re given a virtual kick up the
backside.
Each year the tea lady threatens to introduce cash
fines for overdue books, each year the writer comes up with excuses, “It’s not
that unusual for someone to take three years to read a book.”
Each year the tea lady fumes. “Cash fines! Cash
fines! Cash fines!”
Each year the writer loans out more books.
