Getting Rid...

[poliphilo]

I dreamed we were living at the farm and Ailz and I had burned a hole in our bedroom carpet. Karen took charge. She said, "It's time we got rid of the Managing Director"- by which she meant "get rid of all the old furniture". I thought this was a bit drastic but could see it needed doing. I drew a line, though, at dumping the grandfather clock. "It's valuable," at said, "at the very least we ought to sell it."
