“Hey, Julie, I’m not one for eavesdropping but I overheard Joan from number 24 telling Mary from 18 she saw that brazen hussy from 32 scurry through 23’s door just after his wife went shopping. I thought something was going on, so did Anne from 41. I’ll tell the newly-wed at 16 to watch her hubby with that jezebel on the loose, Liz at 19 recons he’s got a roving eye. There’s Pam from 22, ‘Pam, have you heard what your nextdoor neighbour’s up to?’ “
