Challenging Myrtle at the table

Mishka could not resist glancing at her father quickly after she heard Myrtle’s unusual invitation.

“The one moment she’s irritated with my singing and then the next moment she wants to take me out to a special event,” Mishka told herself. She was puzzled about her grandmother’s behaviour.

“Is she trying to be friends or is she busy with some kind of match-making again?” Mishka asked herself before answering.

“I do have an appointment for Saturday afternoon. I’m singing for a fashion group, but if I finish there on time I just might join you out of curiosity, since you’re making it all sound so interesting,” she responded with a smile.

“It will be interesting, yes, but it’s gonna be your second Saturday of not resting, so how will you cope if you become exhausted? You will have to resort to drinking herbs eventually, like I do,” Myrtle remarked in response.

“I took a good nap late on Sunday afternoon,” Mishka responded in her own defence.
