Early this evening, I was interrupted mid-groom by a chirp.
One ear turned.
A second chirp followed.
Both ears were required.
I proceeded toward the old cupboard with the solemn concentration of someone who had finally been assigned meaningful work.
Maeve began searching the room so she could “help the little fellow back outside.”
This was interference with an active investigation.
For the record:
1. The cottage perimeter has been breached.
2. Management has been notified.
3. Management is interfering.
I remained stationed beside the cupboard for a considerable length of time.
The cricket then chirped from beneath the chair across the room.
I looked at Maeve very slowly.
She has since carried a cup-covered cricket toward the door while I continue to supervise the cupboard.
4. This investigation remains ongoing.
All indoor crickets belong to me until further notice.
