50 - Cacoethes Scribendi

It doesn’t take Clarissa long to make sure that Carmel Weinz is the star speaker at this week’s book club organised by the Gwair Cultural Circle. Indeed since Leporello drove back into Gwair-on-Wye with Gwendolyn and Carmel, Clarissa has been busily sorting out accommodation and other arrangements. The Diogenes Suite at ‘The Snatcher on the Wye’ provides a modest degree of comfort, and allows Carmel the opportunity to scribble more of the lucid verse that has been tumbling through her mind since she accidentally forgot to order her macchiato decaffeinated. The appearance of Clarissa’s sister at the station had surprised and worried her, but that’s how things happen. Cacoethes Scribendi!
