Dunkel both he'd like to see planted underground mr. Dunkel six feet under mr. Dunkel shared billing with the ham and eggs in the conversation that morning at breakfast Mrs. Edwards these muffins are delicious this morning well now I'm glad you like them you feel good don't you mr. Lily white good perfect why I miss chipper is a J bird you always feel good when mr. Dunkel goes away in his vacation oh please Mrs. Edwards don't mention Dunkel I only think of him when I buy my insects great it's true though that man is so edgy and and so muscular and I had to plant my renunculus right by his fence and renunculus requires so much water you'd better warn the new gardener not to get water on mr. Dunkel's fence yes the new gardener don't you remember the employment agency is sending a gardener out today oh yes so they are so they are well we won't have to worry about Dunkel's fence not for quite a while since Dunkel's been gone I've watered those renunculus to my heart's content why his old fence is dripping with water at this very moment I don't see why mr. Dunkel has to make so much trouble but I do think you should stand up to him or Mrs. Edwards you're absolutely right and when he comes back I'm going to be very firm with him well you always say that when he's on his vacation this time I've made up my mind but hasn't it been wonderful having dunkel away hasn't it been wonderful that's me oh dear he's back oh dear the water all over his fence excuse me mrs.
