Gaslight Geezers: Part 2

By GARRY KILWORTH, Illustrator JOHN HOWE

She was a young veterinary surgeon, Bryony Bludd, who treated mostly the down-and-outs and sick mustelids who slept under the bridges of the river Bronn, which flowed through the centre of the city. Bryony lived in the flat across the landing and the pair often visited each other of an evening. Both were lonely souls in need of company, though neither would admit it. It helped matters that they liked each other and enjoyed each other's company.The area in which they lived, Gusted Manor, was mostly populated by stoats. Being weasels they were not exactly welcome and their snooty neighbours let them know that fact by refusing to acknowledge their existence. Under normal circumstances Monty and Bryony would be living in Poppyvile, the poor area of the city, where most of the other weasels had their hovels. Since they both came from well-to-do families they could afford to live in Gusted Manor, never mind their aloof stoat neighbours.
