Sammi Coconut and Precious Glass were swimming naked in the lake where a King once drowned<\/p>\n
As they swam they could see two cops standing above their abandoned clothes taking notes<\/p>\n
Do you think that we are in trouble for swimming without clothes?<\/i><\/p>\n
I doubt it they are probably waiting for us to come ashore so that they can look at our bodies <\/i><\/p>\n
I suppose it makes a pleasurable difference from catching the bad guys all the time <\/i><\/p>\n
As they emerged from the lake the taller of the two cops took a photograph<\/p>\n
Why did you take our photograph?<\/i><\/p>\n
For our records <\/i><\/p>\n
It is part of the new procedures <\/i><\/p>\n
That being if we catch women with silly names swimming naked in the lake where the King once drowned then we are authorised to take their photographs for our records <\/i><\/p>\n
Imagine the interest your photographs might cause in a hundred years <\/i><\/p>\n
May we have our clothes please?<\/i><\/p>\n
No<\/i><\/p>\n
Why? <\/i><\/p>\n
It is against the current procedures <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you expect us to walk into town like this?<\/i><\/p>\n
You will be handed your clothes when you complete a task <\/i><\/p>\n
Oh yes <\/i><\/p>\n
No it is not what you think <\/i><\/p>\n
What is the task?<\/i><\/p>\n
We would like you to pray with us so that the Beatification of Reverend Father Etienne Pernet may be obtained<\/i><\/p>\n
You would like us to pray with you and then you will return our clothes <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Please kneel <\/i><\/p>\n
Both Sammi Coconut and Precious Glass knelt in front of the cops<\/p>\n
This is odd <\/i><\/p>\n
I agree <\/i><\/p>\n
Pretty weird <\/i><\/p>\n
Silence please <\/i><\/p>\n
Both cops removed their hats and bowed their heads<\/p>\n
O God who didst grant to the Rev Father Etienne Pernet to understand the needs of the poor and didst inspire him to found the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Assumption for the Christian regeneration of the families of the working class<\/i><\/p>\n
Thou Who didst fill his heart with that burning zeal which made him repeat unceasingly O Lord unite all minds in truth and all hearts in charity we beseech Thee if it be Thy will that Thy Servant should be honoured by the Church to manifest by heavenly favours his power with Thee <\/i><\/p>\n
Through Jesus-Christ our Lord <\/i><\/p>\n
Amen <\/i><\/p>\n
For about a minute there was complete silence<\/p>\n
You may stand up now <\/i><\/p>\n
Your clothes are near the patrol car please dress if you are feeling chilled <\/i><\/p>\n
Sammi Coconut and Precious Glass dressed and beckoned the cops who had turned their backs to them to join them<\/p>\n
Would you like a coffee as the evening is drawing in and attracting the cooler winds?<\/i><\/p>\n
Please <\/i><\/p>\n
And you Rolf <\/i><\/p>\n
Thank you <\/i><\/p>\n
I thought you were going to arrest us for swimming without clothes <\/i><\/p>\n
No many do it <\/i><\/p>\n
It is not illegal <\/i><\/p>\n
I think that the thought of swimming with the dead King turns many maidens on <\/i><\/p>\n
Or so I have heard <\/i><\/p>\n
And the photographs?<\/i><\/p>\n
They are for our clipboard back at the station <\/i><\/p>\n
Different patrols compete against each other <\/i><\/p>\n
We have twenty-five and are leading by three but B Patrol is catching up fast although I think they are cheating <\/i><\/p>\n
One of the women looks suspiciously like Bremen\u2019s sister<\/i><\/p>\n
I recognise the scar on her abdomen <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you have any friends with silly names who might be willing to swim in the lake? <\/i><\/p>\n
We have many friends with silly names but they live far away although I will mention it to them when we return <\/i><\/p>\n
When does the contest finish? <\/i><\/p>\n
November as it is too cold to swim in the lake after November \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
A car drew up and two men and two women ran to the side of the lake and began undressing<\/p>\n
Both cops looked in the general direction of the new visitors<\/p>\n
We must take our leave of you <\/i><\/p>\n
May I say it has been our pleasure <\/i><\/p>\n
And if you don\u2019t mind me saying I enjoyed your tattoos <\/i><\/p>\n
Sammi Coconut and Precious Glass what strange names you have <\/i><\/p>\n
And what a good idea to have each other\u2019s names tattooed on your bodies <\/i><\/p>\n
There is not enough true love in the world <\/i><\/p>\n
That fact was taught to us by the Reverend Father from a very early age <\/i><\/p>\n
