I’ll be a magician. I already know one trick: turning employment prospects into smoke.” “You’re the clown.” “Cruel, but accurate. What are you?” “Face painter. I’ll paint whiskers, then casually wheel out the gift table.” “Tables don’t wheel.” “This one does. I fitted casters yesterday.” “You broke into their house yesterday?” “No, I attended the planning meeting. Mrs. Crumble thinks I’m someone’s aunt.” “Whose aunt?” “Nobody asked. Adults fear family trees at parties.” “Security?” “One Labrador, twelve children, and a grandmother with suspicious eyebrows.” “The dog worries me.” “Sausages.” “The children worry me.” “More sausages.” “And the grandmother?” “Compliments. Tell her she looks too young to have eyebrows.” “That sentence may get me killed.” “Then improvise. When I shout ‘Pass the parcel,’ grab the sack.” “Which sack?” “The enormous striped one marked ‘Definitely Not Stolen Presents.’” “Subtle.” “I ordered plain canvas. They sent novelty crime supplies.” “Escape route?” “Down the slide, through the paddling pool, over the hedge.” “I hate Tuesdays.” Outside, a child popped Bill’s balloon and demanded identification immediately.
