Becky meets her best friend in Brent Cross shopping centre.
“Rebecca, did you know that Naomi passed away last week?”
“No, Becky, I didn’t know,” replies Rebecca, “How did Abe, that stupid husband of hers, take it?”
“Hard, Rebecca, very hard,” says Becky, “but not as hard as Isaac, their lodger, who everyone knew was having an affair with Naomi. Rumour has it that when Naomi died, Isaac just went to pieces. He couldn’t eat, he couldn’t sleep and he just sat around the house crying buckets.”
“So then what happened?” asks Rebecca.
“I’ll tell you what happened,” answers Becky, “a few days after the funeral, that stupid Abe said to Isaac, “Stop your crying Isaac. Don’t worry. I’ll get married again!”
