SCENE TWO (It is about 3:30 in the morning in Happy Valley on a fifteen acre farm. A man is snoring in a little out room. It is the farm of Rapley Rowe) A middle aged woman knocks on the door of the out room) (Beville groans sleepily but opens the door.) MISS MILDRED: Mister Beville, wake up, your taxi will soon be here. BEVILLE: Yes, Miss Mildred. (Gets up out of the bed in his pyjamas) (Beville goes into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth) MISS MILDRED: I will wait out here until you’re finished, Mister Beville. You have your ticket that we   bought for you and the pocket money that you saved while working for my brother, Rapley? (Beville comes out of the bathroom and goes to his room) BEVILLE: Miss Mildred, I have to thank you because it was you, who begged Rapley to hire me. Everybody thinks I’m crazy after I threw away my money and lost my house. I have to thank Rapley for the three months that he let me work for him. MISS MILDRED: Mister Bevill

My books are on Amazon, payhip and draft2digital. They are also on lulu.com. But they are just not selling. Maybe readers aren't interested in short stories, plays or poetry. I've tried to write as humorously as possible. Readers still aren't showing any interest in my writing. I know that I'm not a trained writer. As a matter of fact I'm an accountant who's trying his hand at writing. I get a lot of relaxation from writing so I'm not going to give it up. I've never thought that I'm going to make money by writing books. It's only when you write books and readers pass them by you wonder what kind of writer you are.

Judging by the amount of flags I see being driven around on vehicles I would say that most Jamaicans support Brazil. There is also strong support for Argentina and Germany. There is moderate support for England, Portugal, Spain and France. I believe that Belgium is a threat and could become the smallest country to win the World Cup. Right now my bet is that France will win it with England a close second. I don't believe that Brazil or Argentina will win. If they progress to the second round they are likely to face purely European opponents. In this world cup they have not been handling the European opponents that well. They have been marking them tightly and hitting them on the breaks as we saw Croatia do.
