Go-between

"Bury Terry! Yer a poet who doesn't know it!" Mary couldn't be, or appear to be serious for long.But this was business and so she played serious.

"So you're wanting me to be go-between?... because that's not what I do!"

"No, Mary, all I'd like from you please is an introduction to your brother and then Paolo here can talk to him about the detail. Oh, and whilst I know our families haven't always been the best of friends, it would be nice to know we weren't being ripped off!"

"Aw Livia, how could yer tink dat?"

How indeed!
