Mrs Hendry smiled to herself as she drove to her next appointment with Tim. She had discovered evidence of some of his little 'peccadillos' whilst cleaning his bedroom and intended to incorporate these into her plans. In fact, compared with some of her gentlemen clients, she had found his apparent 'interests' were quite mild, but nonetheless shameful and useful. How she loved this job!
On arrival, she apologised for being late again. 'My husband is on lock-down furlough,' she giggled, ' and he's only got one thing on his mind! In my uniform too. Says he finds it sexy! Would you believe it? I didn't have a chance to change or freshen up before I dashed over here!'
Tim certainly could believe it...
Stepping inside, she then enquired about Tim's health. He said that he hadn't been sleeping very well and complained of a slight headache.
With a sympathetic smile, she told him that she'd dispense with the usual temperature check, but insisted that he sit in a darkened room while she got changed and fetched some medicine.
Tim sat on the sofa and watched her shapely figure as she stretched to close the heavy curtains. However, he was almost on the point of 'nodding off' when she returned, half an hour later. He heard her rustle towards him.
'Now then, Mr Symonds, you don't need to worry. I'm wearing full virus protection today.' She sat close to him on the sofa and he could feel the warmth of her soft thigh through her rubberised plastic cape.
She placed a pill in his hand with a glass of water. 'Now, swallow this for your headache, then we'll do some more tests.'
Tim followed her instructions and handed back the glass.
He felt her gloved hand rest gently on his thigh.
'So, Mr Symonds, as I'm sure you are aware, two of the Corona 19 symptoms are loss of smell or taste. I'm going to test those now, just to be on the safe side.'
'Oh, but I'm OK otherwise. I haven't got a fever or a cough' he replied.
'Now now, we mustn't get complacent about these matters. Hundreds of older men like you are dying every day. Just stay still, and we'll have you finished in no time.'
'I want to test your sense of taste first. Close your eyes for me. I want you to take a sip of this drink.'
She lifted a tumbler to his lips. He sipped the contents. It was warm and rather salty. Not a flavour he could immediately identify. Not a pleasant taste either. Could it be nettle tea?
'Yuck! that isn't very nice,' he said, pushing the warm glass away.
'Very good, Mr Symonds. I think we can safely say that your taste buds are functioning. Now, I want you to drink down the full glass. You'll soon get used to the taste and I am sure it will help to keep the virus at bay'
She smiled wickedly to herself as she again lifted the tumbler to his lips and watched him reluctantly swallow down every drop of her own very personal, warm, fresh golden 'medicine'.
Somehow, he'd managed to ignore the acrid taste of the liquid and even licked his lips after he finished.
'What a good boy, Mr Symonds. All gone!'
