We’ve had quite a few cuppas. If we drink any more, we’ll have trouble sleeping tonight.”Serenity stopped Noelle, having already enjoyed quite a few cups and light refreshments too.

Tomorrow, you can tell Laurence that you’d like to return to my side as my secretary.“I’m getting on in years and I can’t keep drinking like I used to at business dinners.
