Tue, Oct 13Task N° 61Getting Acquainted
1m 15s“The consultant on duty was twelve.”
Mr. Pell came in for a brochure. The House does not have brochures. The consultant on duty is twelve, the gold is heavier than he thought, and he has been considering it for eleven minutes. Nobody considers gold for eleven minutes.

2m 1s“A widow, a biscuit tin, and one button not for sale.”

1m 46s“It depends on the size of the apology, sir.”

Fri, Oct 30Task N° 72To Go
1m 45s“The House drives manual. Nobody has asked why.”
A delivery, to go. The Judge wants the expressway; the General decides Peachtree. A sealed case, a manual gearbox, two children holding it steady on the back seat, and a client who says exactly one word.

Fri, Nov 6Task N° 77Push Present
2m 14s“Pink. Because girl. Sixty-one.”
Nine months after Task N° 61, Mr. Pell is back — and not for a brochure. The First Lady takes the floor, the Young Master counts every stone, and the House delivers a push present that is, by its own account, barely enough.
