An extract of this book.
Snow and Clause.
‘Name?’ the receptionist asked, without looking
up.
‘Miss Snow,’ she replied, as she waited for
that oh so predictable reaction.
Looking at her now with a huge smirk on his
face, the receptionist said, ‘May I have your first name please?’
‘Winter.’
‘Winter Snow,’ he said, in a squeaky voice,
trying his hardest not to laugh.
‘OK, you’ve had your fun, now get my keys
please.’
‘You have to admit it’s funny,’ he said, as he
turned around, took her keys off the hook and handed them to her.
‘I can see the funny side yes, but after
twenty- five years it gets a bit boring.’
‘Shall I fetch someone to carry your bags up?’
‘No thanks, but if you could send a snowball
and some Turkey sandwiches up to my room, I’d be grateful.’
The man laughed so hard that his sides hurt,
and he had to sit down, and not feeling the joy of the season, Winter turned
her back on him and walked to the lift.
‘Can I help you sir,’ the receptionist asked,
as the man walked up to the counter.
With some trepidation he said, ‘Mr Clause.’
‘Really, the man said, as he put his hand over
his mouth to hide the smirk on his face.
‘Nick Clause.’
The receptionist could no longer control
himself and almost fell of his seat when he started to laugh hysterically.
‘What on earth are you doing Ken?’
Seeing his boss staring down at him brought
him to his senses and he got up and handed Nick the keys and said, ‘Do you need
help with your bags sir?’
‘No, I’m fine, thank you. But I’d like room
service if that’s OK?’
‘Let me guess, a snowball and a Turkey
sandwich?’
‘Funny! I’ll have a cider and some cheese
sandwiches please.’
‘What are you doing Ken, a word please,’ his
boss said, as he watched the man walk to the lift.
‘What on earth is wrong with you?’
‘I think I’m being set up. Winter Snow and a
Nick Clause have just signed in.’
