The Case of the Missing House Cleaner

Neither Cynthia or I like doing housework, so I'd been trying for a long time to persuade her to get a house cleaner. She finally found someone who sounded very reliable, and arranged for her to start work at 9:00 am today.

We cleared everything out of the kitchen into the living room, ready for a thorough cleaning, but the cleaner never came. C had only communicated with her by email, so we couldn't phone her.

I decided to wash the floor myself before putting all the furniture back. I was not a happy camper!
