The Tessabot Hauled Off One of Viscount Arlo’s Boots
How delightfully ugly you are- couldn’t hear any sounds inside
- gave the metal pole a firm kick
- cupped a hand over her mouth
- “I’m being misquoted.”

The Tessabot hauled off one of Viscount Arlo’s boots, which were in fact Henry’s boots, and flung it in our direction. He was apoplectic, but she calmly spoke as she focused on the second boot.
“How delightfully ugly you are with only one foot uncovered,” she lilted. Although her words were clear enough to me, Arlo thrashed and gibbered as if he couldn’t hear any sounds inside his crooked wig. He scrabbled for a handhold and managed to grab the leg of a swingset near the bungalow. Jason jogged out from the front porch and gave the metal pole a firm kick, jolting Arlo loose. In that same moment the Tessabot obtained the second boot, but rather than toss it over for Henry she dropped it and cupped a hand over her mouth.
“Jason, look!” she exclaimed. “The viscount has your lyrics tattooed on the sole of his foot.”
She held the squirming viscount’s ankle still in her unbreakable grip so Jason could study it. He huffed. “I’m being misquoted.”
“Untrue!” howled Arlo. “I was at that wedding! I was there when you rapped those words.”
