"That's a nice watch, how much were you thinking off for the object", he asked.

"I'd say about 50 pounds, for a friend", answered the fox as a pleasurable glow flowed through his interior.

"I call that a pretty good deal", he said, and after chewing it over for a second he added, "I'll take it".

After draining their restoratives the fox proceeded out the door, with a 50 pound note resting securely in his pocket, leaving the man brooding over his recent purchase. He had a doctor's appointment the next morning. It was well overdue and they were becoming more regular as he aged. According to his golden acquisition it was 10 to 5pm. At 5pm he staggered out of the club. At 5:10 pm, he popped into a taxi. At 5:30 pm, he was standing on his front door step. At 6:20 pm, he was looking over a pecan pie with eager hands.
