The final sentence

[Hilldodger]

So she finished eating the blancmange, picked up the otter and walked out of the front door, slamming it behind her.


So, how does the story begin and ultimately arrive at the final sentence?

No idea

Lord Lester had no idea how he had got there, but spotting a teapot sitting on a shelf decided to fill the kettle and make himself a cup of tea while he pondered on it. The chromed mixer tap made a sputtering noise as he carefully turned the lever, letting it run for a few seconds before moving the open kettle into the flow of water. Returning the kettle to its holder he flicked the button and watched as it slowly stirred into life.

bereft of food as the boats are unable to sail, all that is left are a few tins of corned beef and some old pudding; all past their best by date.

a domestic squabble ensues and the husband utters the fateful words "well, if you think you can do better, then go ahead."

I read it as Arch having a post-knitting snack.
Don't know why she slammed the door though Or if she even likes blancmange.

I'm not sure I do like blancmange. I don't tend to like gelatinous sloppy puddings much. I'd want something like a digestive biscuit with it to give some crunch.

 

[Cycling Naturalist]
