Aunt Ermintrude
Your aunt must be a stylish lady. She is, I say, and clear my throat. Shes terribly creative and original. Im sure she is, says Luke. Whats her name Oh God. I should have run as soon as I saw him, while I had a chance. Now Im paralyzed. I cant think of a single female name. Erm. . Ermintrude, I hear myself saying. Aunt Ermintrude, says Luke thoughtfully. Well, give her my best wishes. He nods at me, and walks off, and I stand, clutching my bag, trying to work out if he guessed or not.
