Look for them in the toilet, really. I mean really, dear, you must know that I have been up and down this house all while on my phone talking a client down from the edge.

“Ledge,” her husband corrects her as he stands there among their screaming children.

“Ledge?” she cries incredulously.

“You said you were talking the client down from the edge. I think you meant ledge.”

She smiles. “Why yes, dear. Yes I did mean that.” She keeps smiling and this make him very nervous.
