The eagle's TAILFEATHER fell and interrupted his precision steering. He landed on top of the BUILDING. It was difficult to find any TREES in New York. The METAL rod held this majestic bird steady. From the perch he adopted this strange fog aviary and watched the people below.
A handsome couple walked through the apartment house exit. The doorman, dressed in a long CLOAK, tipped his hat and helped the Ashenhursts climb into a taxi. They were lifted in the spirit of the moment and her husband handed her one of his OPERA MINTS (a delightful combination of sugar coated chocolates with taste of peppermint and mint) to enjoy on the ride. She was very careful to pop the mint in her mouth to avoid dropping it on her lovely pale ivory LINEN dress.
BOOTS and Dollie were definitely in the SPIRIT of the moment. It would be a WHOLE evening of delight. Then it happened...Dollie's PHONE rang in her purse. She tried to avoid answering but it continued to RING. The evening came to an abrupt end. It was a family emergency and sadly the night was over.
The loss of a single tailfeather had not rendered the eagle flightless. He has recovered and decided to head home, sorry that he could not follow Mr. and Mrs. Ashenhurst to the Opera.
Well done!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Ashenhursts get another night - and that the eagle can watch them. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe eagle certainly was in recovery mode and would be back I'm sure for another day ... those phone calls can be very worrying ... well done Annie - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI am also hoping the opera is running for a bit and they can make it another night.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad he didn't get to go to the opera. But why not follow someone else? Good use of the prompts.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Fun way of tangling two tales. It still leaves me curious. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI've had those evening interrupted, it's not fun. Good use of the words.
