Soon it was time for the girl to foot the bill, and I returned to collect my pay.

I knew the girl wouldn’t let the baby go without a fight

Called me a lot of names said I couldn’t see beyond the end of my nose or whatnot.

I was beginning to have a chip on my shoulder for this woman, and that made me even more determined to have the baby.

Then from being offensive, she was going defensive. She was crying and begging me to take something else: jewels, money, anything.

I kept a stiff upper lip all throughout.

In the end, I decided so I wouldn’t ruffle her feathers any more, I decided to play a game with her.
