Vocabulary 111 - C1

Herbert Walker sighed, staring at the chipped paint on his porch. Mrs. Gable, the widow who owned their house, was due for her monthly visit. He knew what was coming: another lecture about the lawn.

"She's worse than a hawk," he muttered, just as Margot walked out, dusting flour from her apron.
"Who is?" she asked.
"Mrs. Gable. She acts like she wants to interfere with every little thing we do."

Margot chuckled. "She's just being a landlord, Herbert. She cares about her property."

Later that afternoon, Mrs. Gable arrived, her small dog yapping at her heels. "Mr. Walker," she began, her voice sharp, "I need confirmation that you've scheduled someone to mow the lawn."

Herbert, caught off guard, stammered, "Well, I…"

Before he could dig himself deeper, Brian skidded onto the porch on his skateboard. He tripped, sending Mrs. Gable's dog yelping into her arms. The dog, in turn, scratched her hand.

"Oh, dear!" Mrs. Gable cried, examining the scratch. "This is certainly an adverse development."

Margot rushed out with a first-aid kit. "Brian! Be careful! Mrs. Gable, let me clean that up for you."

As Margot tended to the scratch, Mrs. Gable seemed to soften. She even forgot about the lawn, at least for the moment. Herbert breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe Brian's accidental chaos had saved him from another lecture.
