But she still went about with a small bowl and a brush.

Though it took her twenty minutes to make a pot of tea.

The Vermilinguan Necessity #4
Kezia stamped and crushed and drowned.

Flo admitted privately that they were making things inconvenient. They kept crawling over her desk while she worked, and over her books and drawings.

But more kept appearing. Now and again, a line of them ran up the kitchen wall.
At least five or six were always peeping over the edge of the bathtub.

This is a little story I began a while ago out of the blue. It was inspired by real events, in fact, when we found ourselves with a sudden invasion of ants a few years back. We have been living with them since. The younger sister is particularly like my own sister in character, I feel.
‘We have an inpestation!’ cried Kezia dramatically.
‘Infestation, you mean,’ said Flo. ‘Of what?’
‘Ants, of course!’ said Kezia.
‘You’re exaggerating again’
—
There had been only several to begin with. At least, several that were noticeable.
Kezia and mother had no hesitation in simply squashing them. Flo always looked away when they did.
The story continues, so perhaps you may like to check back from time to time, if you’re interested.
