Description?
I can't find "gasling" in any dictionary but one crossword solver gave it as the answer to "exaggeratedly enthusiastic". Any offers?
Oh bother! I closed it without saving. Now I'll have to do it all again.
I am not convinced by "them". Doesn't look like "th" in next word. Looks more like "S" to me. Sun through doorway at back would make sense but then we are left with working out what the shoemaker's wife is doing
How about "seen"? PS. You up for another much simpler will?
Could be seen
Yes, chuck it over
washing?
Will do, I'm just typing the last couple of lines. Five mins.
I discounted washing early on, not enough of the h if you want an ing. We still like to research gasling
Sorry I found a few more lines in the will. Going as fast as I can.
Supposing they squashed the "g" up a bit as they were getting to the edge of the box? Then you can see a hin. I think the wife has to be doing some king of work.
Not convinced she's working in the doorway. More likely looking in at them. One to sleep on I think.
She might be in another room, seen through the doorway. If she isn't working perhaps she is resting.
Pity we can't find the painting.
