Lucy, Sue and others in “Unfinished Business”

I've never heard of half the stuff on Anita's special shopping list. Free-range egg white extract?

Probably on the shelf right next to wheat-free soy lasagna.

Ah, the good host syndrome. Open your door to a wayward traveler, and before you know it, you're at their mercy. Your routines disrupted, your cupboards emptied, the sanctity of your castle hopelessly compromised.

What do you recommend, Sir Myles? Toss them out in the street?

No, I recommend a drawbridge and a moat. Never let them breach the gates in the first place.

I follow the three day law. They stay longer than that, I throw their gear on the porch, change the locks, turn on the sprinklers.

Now that's hospitable.
