Then Daisy remembered she hadn’t returned the antiques book to the bookshop

The same young man was rearranging books in the computer section of the shop

He hardly looked up

Daisy realised that any words on her part were useless with such a person and proceeded to hunt for her books once again
Suddenly her eye caught sight of the magnificent ring on her finger and she remembered how lucky she wasDaisy fe la waya kuma wunfe waganyin customer yanbu be

Her client a certain Frank Baccini who had a warehouse of electrical goods had not paid for her two days work

Daisy had managed to discover where Mr Baccinis dishonest partner was now living and was anxiously expecting her cheque
Daisy a desan na wakpe bana eya amanagizhi mrfrank e le na kuma wunfe tu ewo u ye
Daisy was beginning to think that her client was dishonest too

This was the tenth telephone conversation Daisy had had in two weeks with this young woman but Frank Baccini hadnt got in touch with her yet

Daisy was furious and decided to go to Mr Baccinis warehouse to see if he was there

Daisy liked sitting in Luigis ice-cream parlour and having a little chat with the owner a positive-thinking Italian

As Daisy walked up the stairs to her office she felt a little less sore about human beings

Just as Daisy was changing her shoes to a more comfortable pair someone knocked on the door and walked in
