Goldie Lock was a very plain woman with long black hair. Mr and Mrs Lock had named their dark haired daughter Goldie because they were fans of Goldie Hawn, and because they were stupid. Now she was lost in some woods and had just discovered a cottage.
Meanwhile, at Palace Street police station, Detective Superintendent Queen showed her crime file to Detective Sergeants Hunt and Man, and stressed the importance of catching her. "Known aliases Snow and White, using stolen driving licences as ID. Though as Jacob Snow is a bald black male and Cedric White has a beard, I guess people do not always check properly."
The cottage had minimal security, so she was soon in, and searching it for valuables, but found very little. She was hungry, but there was nothing in the kitchen except porridge. So she made some, but it was too hot and burnt her mouth. She let it cool down until it was too cold, and discovered she had used salt instead of sugar. She tried making some more, but just could not get it right.
Feeling tired, she laid down in one of seven beds, not of generous size, and fell asleep. Thus she did not notice the sound of the song '
Cwm Rhondda
' until the door was opened and seven Welsh miners came in. They were small men, which was actually handy down a mine, and carrying their picks and shovels because there were a lot of bloody thieves down the pit: you couldn't leave anything for a minute without it getting nicked. They were the owners of the cottage, which they had inherited from their forebears.
"What whore's been sleeping in my bed?" asked one of them. Goldie told them a sad story which they didn't believe for a moment, and they introduced themselves. Because most of the men down the pit were called either Dai Evans or Dai Jones, the miners had to have nicknames to reduce the confusion.
Their leader was called Doc, from his involvement in fixing greyhound races with pharmaceuticals. The others were Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. She didn't ask why, though wondered if Dopey had some drugs he could let her have, or was just too stupid to realise that his name was an insult. Sadly it turned out the latter, and she did not yet know about Doc's sideline.
