Malcolm Trent

The entire note said “Dear Sir, I had to leave on urgent personal business, I will send you the money as soon as possible”. This absolutely devastated everyone at the breakfast table. Susie wondered who was going to make here oatmeal just right, Billy started to cry, and even the cat knew something was wrong. I mean, everyone knows that the roads of life are not paved with yellow bricks, but this was too much. How was this wealthy and very busy family going to do without a servant? It really shook Malcolm, so much in fact that he had to call in sick to work and call his lawyer to discuss how to prosecute the insolent servant and get back the two hundred dollars she borrowed. I mean, she could have at least worked it off, but no, she was too lazy. Help is so hard to find now a day.
