The Final Disappearance of Wit

It's been about four months since Wit disappeared one summer's evening in July. One day she was sleeping on my bed with Nighty, the next some French visitors disturbed her slinked and she went outside, never to be seen again. Should I blame the French? It's tempting... ;-)

Poor old Wit. I imagine she impaled herself, or was shot, or got run over, or was eaten by a fox. We liked her, and Nighty misses her. Sometimes. When she's really, really bored.

We're moving house in two weeks and she won't be coming because she doesn't exist.

Poor old Wit. Never lived to see two years.

We lead a witless existence.
