Lily: Not if I can help it. Do you have anything else?
Evelyn: Well I’ve got some leftover dinner from last night. Just some peas and mashed potato with some microwaveable leftover chicken.
Lily: Goodness, I can’t see myself having such a heavy meal in the middle of the day. I’d fall asleep.
Evelyn: There’s some ham if you’d prefer that.
Lily: To be honest I had a slice of ham for my dinner last night. They say variety is the spice of life. Anything else?
Evelyn: There’s always water.
Lily: Water? Have you seen the amount of lethal plastic that has managed to creep into bottled water. It’s frightening. Water? Goodness me, no.
Evelyn: I’m afraid I have nothing else on hand.
Lily: I’ll be going then. I’ll pick up something on the way home.
Evelyn: Yes. Thank you for coming. Do come again.
Lily left. Evelyn poured herself a gin and tonic and opened a large box of imported assorted chocolates. The cooked-to-perfection corn chowder could wait.
