One morning at about eleven oclock someone knocked on her office door | lazhi nini ke kami efin guwo beni na zandochi fe zhe kpako office yan |
It was a fat lady who wore a fur around her neck | nyizagi gbugbochi ndochi yo na fan eyin kapa koro ubo na |
Hello can I help you? Daisy asked the lady "Please come and sit down" | hello ki minya jin ya woyo?Daisy fe gbin nyinzagibosoko be kuma fedun |
Oh yes indeed! I need your help desperately
lorna egi tetengi mi wanya mikpe ene minya jin na,Lorna my little one has disappeared I dont know what to do | oh a achiga!miye wa taimako we |
Daisy offered the fat lady a cup of instant coffee and awaited the details | Daisy fe la evo shayi ya nyizagi gbugbochi nana kuma wunfe ka bayyanizhi |
The fat lady sat down heavily and put her large red leather handbag on Daisys desk | nyizagi gbubochi fe fedun be kagbo e kuma wunfe la namba dzuru ta bag yan daisy o |
Please tell me everything - Mrs ? | bosoko gan yendondo yam -mrs? |
Mrs Edwina Humphries is my name I am afraid they will ask me for money - Im afraid Lorna has been kidnapped! | mrs edwin Humphries gayi sunna miyonme sundan gan agbinmigan ewome leye ke a lorna yila na |
Thats terrible Mrs Humphries Does Mr Humphries too think Lorna has been kidnapped? | tsochyaya mrs humpriesmrhumphries ejin tunani ke a yin lorna yila man? |
My husband is not interested if Lorna has been kidnapped or not! | eba min jin damuwa ko ayi lorna yin ko ayiwan yan a |
Really Mrs Humphries? But is your husband Lornas real father? | gaskiya mrs humphries?amma eba woga yi asali nda yan lorna |

Yes indeed! And she always keeps me great company you know" | A achinga kuma wola yesa keyabo yami wokpe |
"Mrs Humphries opened her huge leather bag to pull out a handkerchief | mrs humphries fe kpe namba u nan wanla edebawun na |
With horror Daisy saw a wiggling creature come out of that bag | be dasun e Daisy fe le eyan wanawana ye tinya namba o |
Mrs Humphries - move that away immediately! screamed Daisy | mrs humphries a yechi lakeya bo gbanigbani daisy je kpogun |
What? Oh Lorna - Ive found you at last! said Mrs Humphries"You hid in my bag - you naughty girl!" | kiyo oh lorna miya wo leye karshe o mrs humpries fegan wa so dan namba mibo we egi ne wogan na |
"Mrs Humphries This is Lorna?" | mrs humphries lorna ga dana o? |

Night Watch | As Daisy shut the door after Mrs Humphries she made a mental note to write in the advertisement no animals no snakesyeshi bachile |
Daisy had got up early that spring morning because she was working on a case in the nearby town | Daisy yan sanle lazhin funyin ebona wen lotun eti shariah yan yezhi na tsoba na |
She arrived at her office with a paper bag in her hand containing fresh cream buns at a quarter to eight and was dying for a cup of coffee | wan chin etunba o be bag takada sun egwao bo be wankashi kami efin ganfi ke gutota un mafe wa evo yan shayi |
As she put the key in the lock a woman’s voice called out "It’s open Daisy" | ke wen la gyeko dan kpako na nyizagi ndochi fe ganyu gan kpako yi kpikpechi |
It was Pam the cleaner | pam gayo ebafinchi |
How about some breakfast Pam? said Daisy with a smile and then noticed Pam had obviously been crying | ke engichi lazhi na fa Pam? Daisy fegan be etsan kuma wunjin lura gan Pan fe tigi |
Pam whatever has happened?
Be fedun wobe o la lazhin gun,Come on sit down and have some breakfast with me
bosoko gan yami ke jin we damuwa o, Please tell me what’s bothering you | Pam ke jin woyo? |
Pam was a hard-working woman with two children to bring up | Pam etunlochi be egi guba na wa kpa na |
She did the cleaning for the whole building which meant seven offices | wun ge fin kpata katazhio bi mana office gutwaba |
Jim has been on to me again about the children
unga wokpe o gan wunde hukunchi na wan lyaye na kuma wunjin kula a kuma wuntaba jin a ,You know he has no legal right to see them and he really couldn’t care less about them and never has | Jim ke ya chya be minyin eti egizhio |
Let’s put the kettle on | yila daro lata bo |
Daisy began preparing the instant coffee and offered Pam a bun | Daisy fe chya shayi jin shiri kuma wunfe la wankashi ya pam |
"Now why don’t you start from the beginning?" | to gbani killa wa cha dagan chyaba bwayon? |
Pam looked extremely troubled and went on | Pam a jin shegala wunfe ke lo |
You see when we got divorced he didn’t even ask to see his children
Toh gbani wunde ewo a wen jin min foro na minya la degi yuna be foro gan koma wunga egizhi la keya beminyin,Now he’s got no money he’s trying to torture me into giving him some with the threat that otherwise he’ll get the children away from me | wo leye na wunyami na wun gbinmi gan gan wan le egiuzgi ya |
I don’t think he can do that easily Pam Daisy reasoned | mi leye gan wanjin achiga wo be sauki yan Pam Daisy jin tunani |
Pam accepted another bun | Pam fe go wankashi ndochi be |
No Daisy not easily but he’s very vindictive and he’s threatened to make my life a hell | Aa Daisy wujin be sauki yan amma wunde fushi kuma wen jin barazana ke wunga rayuwa mi ladan ena o |
null | To yide a fe kau yi leye a,Well we’ll just have to wait and see |
Look if he gets violent all you have to do is call the police" | chile wunga wodanyan ena wanjin na gayi wo yi yandoka o |
I know Jim if I don’t give him money he’ll be as good as his word | Mi kpe Jim ye kami la ewo ya wan wun fejin wangi be alkawariu yin |
Three days later Daisy got a telephone call | zuman efo guta Daisy fe dey yiyi wayafe |
Daisy it’s Pam I’m going round the bend
JIm e be man be emi mi yeshi ndondo zuman shago o wen jin kokari wunle kata min ye dagan tagagi minbo kuma wen kpogun iri iri ,Jim’s been coming round to my house every night after the pubs close trying to see through my bedroom window and making strange noises
wen jin kokari ... | Daisy minyo Pamminye man da kapagi |
" Have you informed the police about it?" | wa gan ya yandokazhia ni? |
"Jim telephoned me just now and said that if I call the police in he’ll tell them I’m imagining things and hysterical and mentally ill and shouldn’t have his children in my custody | JIm yimi gbani kuma wungan mi ga yandokazhi yi wunga ganya gan me jin tunani eyanzhi jin kuma min ya dzunyila kuma mi ga kpa egiuzhi man |
What am I going to do Daisy? I feel desperate" | ki minya jin gbani o Daisy?minya jin Damuwa |
"All right Pam tell me your address and I’ll see what I can do" | Toh Pam gan yami eko emiye kuma minya chile ena minga jin wo na |
Daisy went round to Trends her local television radio and computer shop and asked to speak to Mr Ranjee the owner of the shop | Daisy da man da Trends etunba radio yanbao kuma shago computer yanbao kuma wungbingan na wan gana be mr Ranjee shago wanchi na |
Mr Ranjee do you think you could lend me a camcorder for a couple of days? | mr Ranjee wo leye gan wa manmi camcorder yanwe efo guba? |
Daisy had found the thief who was stealing from the shop a few months’ ago | Daisy ya yigbechi ne yiyan shago na de wan etwa guba na gogan na |
and Mr Ranjee had always said that if ever she needed something please to come and ask for it | kuma mr ranjee fe gan kamindondo ke kami na wunga yendondo na bosoko wun be kuma wun gbin gan |
Of course Miss Hamilton You say you want one that works in the dark
Mm-go nana,wokpe kene ejin anfani jin byiu yinna?wungwa min lawu we,Mm - take this Do you know how to use it? Let me show you | kachyan Miss Hamiltonwogan we wa nini ne lotun yeshi na |
Mr Ranjee spent the next half hour teaching Daisy some elementary camcorder tricks | MrRanjee la hawa ganfi fe wu Daisy degi min ke jin anfanni be camcoda nae |
Daisy decided to go around to Pam’s house at about ten that evening armed with the camcorder and its rain-proof covering | Daisy fe la niyya lo emi yan Pam ke efin guwo yan yeshi na be camcordder kuma be ewo ele u yin |
She also had a whistle in her pocket and a Mars bar to while away the time | wunman de yiko dan dzufan o bo kuma be kulikuli na wunga sa yesa kena |
Oh no! It’s beginning to rain Daisy exclaimed to herself | oh kasa! wan chya ele dun Daisy fe kpokun ya tiu |
Whenever she had a job on at night it invariably rained | kamindondo na wun ga de etun yeshi na sai ele ga du |
Fortunately this time she had brought a hood with her | amma wan ewo ele ladan biuyin |
At that time of night there were few people around | lokachi yeshi wunchi ezazhi dokun nakena |
Pam had explained that she lived in an old cottage and that her bedroom was round the back facing the garden | Pam a bayyani jin ke wenlele emi gbako ndochio na kuma kata o yi kuru zuman layewu lati flower |
When Daisy arrived she went to the back of the cottage climbed over the low fence | na Daisy tun na wunfe lo zuman ya emi wunchin fe gun kara |
and saw there was a tumble-down tool shed at the bottom of the garden | kuma wunfe leye ke ade katagi yan kayatun yan lati flower ye tako na |
That’s where I’ll hide and wait for that monster
kiyu iko gan wan nyin masoyi Pam bao Daisy jin tunani,How dare he try to hurt dear Pam thought Daisy | baga gabo minya soka za dede wunchin o |
Once inside the shed Daisy heard something like a flower-pot fall to the ground outside | na wungun wuru wunchiona Daisy fe wo eduku ndochi ke dukun flower lokin zhempa o na |
and crouched down so that she couldn’t be seen through the small dirty window | wunfe kokin karayin ebo zandondo ga lyiu ye tagagi tetengi shikan man o |
Apparently it was a meeting-place for cats for she heard miaowing | zahiri wunyin eba kikeba yan dangizhi ebo wunfe wo meow |
Certainly if Pam’s ex-husband wants to repeat his previous performance I’d better get rid of those cats so he’s not scared off" | gaskiya eba payin yan Pam ge wa ye yana wunjin lena jin mi ga dangi wunchizhi yankpe ebo abyu la bichi man" |
She opened the shed door warily and threw an old shoe she had found inside at the cats who hastily vanished | wunfe kpe yeko kata wunchin karayin kuma wunfe che eda gbako nawun leye mini u bona dan dangi nazhi man fe bichi na |
Now everything was quiet again | gbani yendondo yi shiru be |
Two hours later Daisy very stiff from the damp and cold got up from the ancient wicker chair she had been sitting on | hawa guba ganchin Daisy a wonpa ta shikan kuma yeko fe nakin esa na wunfe fedun tana |
I can’t stand it much longer she moaned to herself | minya guwa o lokpa bya wunfe gbin be tiuyin |
Then she thought she heard the noise of Wellington boots sloshing through the damp foliage | sai wunfe jin tunani ke wunwo karaa yan eda mini ba zhiko wunchiona |
Someone was creeping towards the house | zandochi fe so lo emi |
Daisy’s arms ached because of the enforced inaction and she nearly dropped the camcorder | Egwa Daisy fe tan u ebo edunlokpa na unfena kuma wanke degi wunya camcorder |
She stepped out of her shoes and slipped out of the partially-open shed door | wunfe tinya eda na wundanna kuma wunfe so dzun yeko na kpe degi na |
At that very moment a car passed by with its lights fully on and Daisy could see quite clearly | kami wuchin moto fe gogan be ena kpata dindachi kuma Daisy fe leye wangiyin |
Pam’s husband was spying into her bedroom window | Eba yan Pam fe shiyechi tagagi kata u le |
null | Daisy fe jin vavayin kuma wunfe dan camcorder |
null | Daisy managed to act quickly and turned the camcorder on |
It was only drizzling now | ele fe sheshe gbani |
Pam’s husband began shouting through the window at his ex-wife and threatening her | Eba Pam fe cha egunkpo mini tagagi kpe emi u yan panyin kuma wunfe jin barazana |
Daisy was filming the scene and recording all the menacing words | Daisy man fe ku film yan yendondo kuma to egan nan wunfe gan kpata na |
Suddenly the camcorder made a strange whirring sound | ke agana camcorder fe tiwu irindochi |
Maybe the tape’s blocked! panicked Daisy | kashi tape a zo Daisy fegan |
She tried to turn it off but pushed the wrong button and the whirring sound increased | wunfe wagan wan nu amma wunfe da yi yendochi gwa kuma egunkpa fe be |
At this point Pam’s ex-husband became aware of it and turned round furiously | kamin nna Eba payin Pam fekpe achin kuma wunfe zhe be fushi |
He realized someone was watching him and swore profusely | wun jin ganewa ke eza e chiule na kuma wunfe kpanu sarayin |
Then he made towards Daisy as though to hit her | achin wun fe loba Daisy ke wen wa dunya na |
Daisy’s first thought was to protect the camcorder with her body she turned her back on him and started yelling | Tunani mafari ya Daisy gan wunla la camcorder wandan be nankan u yin wunfe zhe zuman tau kuma wunfe cha egunkpo |
It seemed to her that her yelling lasted an eternity | wunbe ke egunkpo yun wun har lo na |
Suddenly a strong torch light shone on both of them | keagana haske fitila fe laman zagubaba |
null | ke jin faruwa babona bo?"What’s going on here?" |
It was a police-woman looking very determined | asha doka-nyizagi yo na jin dagewana |
I saw you climbing over the fence indicating the man with the light of her torch | mi le woye fegun fence wunfe la fitila wu bagi be haske u yin |
"Come quietly both of you | be karayin zagubaba ye |
Im arresting you for trespassing and " | mi ga zagubaba ye wan ebo doka gbintu o |
Just at this moment Pam appeared at her bedroom window opened it and looked out | kami nana Pam fe dzuntinya daga kata o bo wunfe kpe tagagi wunfe chi zhampa le |
