manly monday part 3--at work
continuity: pa lacked knowledj for driving a car so edna had driven him to his job.
pa entered the building and was simply baffled. he did not know which office his dad worked in. luckily a man greeted him "hi, mr. iris... hey! where is your hat that you had?"--I gave it to a hag. she has it to look less ugly"--hah" he replied surprised. pa stood on the right side of the lobby by the list of offices. pa used his family name iris to search for his office. pa scanned the list of offices in his building, while he considered telling the frend that he had not planned for the hex to hap but it took effect by her fork. however, he realized that most people must say they deny majik. the stranger said "we must hie [means rush] to the office" dad failed to find his name on the list so he invited "lets catch up in my office". the trick worked. pa was relieved that the hyp meaning deception was working.
"hup hie" meaning step quickly, urjd the stranger as he hurried along the corridor and then turned. they passed many doors on each side each door having a frosty glass window which blurred everything behind it but allowed to see if a person was blocking the door. pa felt nervis not knowing where his own office was so he tried to conceal with a hum. pa walked slowly so that the stranjer wud lead but the stranjer said "hop to it". pa wondered how he would get to his office. puzzled pa literally hopped using one foot.  he heard the stranger say "ha" in surprise. finally they reached the door with the "aitch" on it. dad saw the h etched on the glass window of the door and below it was his dads name john iris. pa did not know his father had that first name until now.
pa asked his new buddy what he had eaten for breakfast. "hot sliced ham". they entered the office. they were facing the window over the river. on their right was a desk but on the wall to their left was one lonely solo picture. the stranjer continued "i have always enjoyed your farm picture" he pointed at the photo of the hens on blocks of hay. "that is where i hid the wall safe" pa lied to him. the stranjer pointed and commented "ho, you have a stain on your hem". pa looked by his hip and saw the fabric was torn and looked lower to see the hem had a stain. he replied that he had hit his hep while climbing out from the car. the stranjer came near and said "that must have HURT" his arms were extended like for a hug. this seemed strange but apparently they were very close frends so pa hugged him. realizing they were good frends pa said "haw [means turn left] i want you to have that farm picture you can hae it". he turned  to his left side and took the picture from the wall and said "ha! there is no wall safe". then he examined the picture closely and commented "this is the first time i noticed the hoe in the photo.
meanwhile on the bus young ken was watching the wild brats. he remembered many decades ago the hob meaning mischif then but this wild behavior was unbearable. perhaps he should have stayed home like "ken" had suggested before they held the majikal fork together. now he was trapped in th ebus and there was no way to escape and get back home... or was there? t.b.c.
