It is a Quilly day. Time to take Quilly’s three words for the day and write a story. The words are niddering, amanuensis, and tryo
Click on any blue word for a definition.

The story continues -You can see the first part HERE.

Chief Ican watched as the DA opened the safe . He hadn’t been this nervous since he was a tyro detective a long time ago. The door was open and he asked her to stand back. Reaching in he pulled out a large stack of letters which the DA tried to grab.
“ Those are personal and none of your business “ she screamed with high impigrity .
On close examination Chief Ican found them to be love letters from Philmore Noteworthy III, the director . They were filled with purple prose of the worst kind with lots of glowing descriptions of lambition.
“Motive” said Chief Ican.
Reaching into the safe he pulled out a Colt 45. “Means” he said.
“ I never saw that gun before . I don’t know how it got there” the DA responded, looking very pale.
“But you’re the only one with the combination to the safe” Chief Ican pointed out. “ You had to put it there.”
“I know that’s the way it looks but I didn’t . I couldn’t hurt Philly I loved him.” She said as she broke down and became a lugent woman.
It was at that point that Ican noticed the Mayor , the uxorious husband, was also crying and saying over and over, “ How could you do this after all I’ve done for you.”
Ican decided that the best thing he could do would be to take the DA down to the station and get her booked and locked up. Despite her protests he and the deputy got her cuffed , transported, and processed.
It now looked like they had the right person for the crime.
Chief Ican contacted the State’s Attorney’s Office and they agreed they would send a special prosecutor to try the case.
But still several days later something bothered Chief Ican. From the time that he started as a detective and lacking an amanuensis he had learned to pay attention to details and put them in little compartments in his brain, to process later. He had never been a niddering when it came to going with what his gut told him as a result of that process. In that sense he was like Gibbs on NCIS. His gut was a major factor in determining his actions. His gut was telling him there was something wrong.
It wasn’t that the DA denied that she killed him. It wasn’t her story that she was there to meet him but the shots came from behind her and she ran to keep from being shot. He knew, nobody ever said “ I am the guilty person. You got me”. They always lied.
The evidence was convincing. The crime lab said the gun from the safe was the murder weapon. It had no finger prints. There were love letters. She was at the scene of the crime. She alone had the combination to the safe. It was open and shut. But still his gut said something was wrong.
But what?
To be continued tomorrow.

And of course with Quilly's words comes the required quivel. Remember to write quivel you must write something that looks like a poem, any style , but is so bad that if it was printed in a book of poetry a true poetic zoilist would tear it out and burn it. What looks like bad haiku is really qiku where the middle line must always contain a Quilly word.

Word to Nidderings Everywhere

Because a niddering she be
The amanuensis refused to see
That her tyro boss was wrong
In that job he wouldn’t be long
Her lambition of his boots
In her childhood had roots
A lugent woman she became
When he was fired all the same
So if a niddering thee be
Repent with high impigrity .

Brave
Niddering
Soldier

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Yesterday Uncle Eino asked Tammy if she had any ideas about the trench. She didn’t. In fact she had been so busy breaking up with her last boyfriend that she hadn’t even heard of the trench. But she promised him she would think about it.
Well she went straight to Tommy UK and told him her problem. She remembered all the things they had worked on together and decided that despite the problems they were having they both cared about Eino and should try to help him. Tommy agreed but he made it clear he would work with her only for the sake of Eino. So together last night they went and looked at the trench. Tommy said that he could feel some kind of strange power in the trench but it was more like an echo or a residue of that power.
Then they went and talked to Eino. Eino told them Sam’s story. Tommy UK said that Eino should have the trench lit up at night and covered with two movement sensitive cameras. But he wasn’t sure even that would help given their experience with video at the museum . If there is something with the power to create the trench it probably has the power to prevent videotaping or to alter it.
But Eino is making arrangements this morning for floodlights and video cameras.
