The Peacock 462

Glen jumps up and hurries after Tristan.

"What ARE you doing?" says Sarah.

"I'm going to see if I can persuade him to stay."

"But I don't want him to stay.  He's a problem.  Glen, let him go."

"He is our brother."

"Speak for yourself!"

"Sarah", says Carl looking at her sternly and calmly.  "Just chill, eh?"

"You chill", she retorts.  "That little rat is evil personified.  We don't want him here.  We don't need him here."

"We will all talk to him together and see if we can discern together.  Leave him with Glen.  He'll be in good hands.

"Did you just hear what he said about Francois?  That is completely unacceptable."

"Francois will be part of the conversation.  After than we can all come to a consensus.  How is your coffee?"

"I could use a warm up," she mutters sullenly...
