She hasn&#8217;t given me any details at all, but then it&#8217;s the same with the whelk business, I&#8217;m always the last to know about anything, last year she was all set to move the entire operation to the South Shore and I&#8217;m sure I don&#8217;t need to tell you the havoc that would have caused, I only found out about it when the removal van had a near miss with Arkwright, our ginger tabby.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, for reasons that I am not privy to, Ethel set off to the Dog and Bucket on Monday morning with the money that she had raised for my holiday and a determined expression. From what I understand she drank gin steadily throughout the day and all might have been well but for the arrival of the local rugby team, the Gwynedd Fliers. It isn&#8217;t clear exactly what sparked things off, but a huge brawl errupted in which Ethel apparently took a leading role. It was PC Morgans night off, so he wasn&#8217;t best pleased to be called away from a poker game in the Italian Quarter to deal with a rowdy Mrs Trellis. It&#8217;s not her first offence either.<\/p>\n<p>She is now in one of the cells at Bangor Police Station and will,be up before the Magistrate on Friday. She was allowed to make a phone call once she had sobered up and used this to ask me to contact you. What with you being a Barrister she is hoping that you may be able to offer some advice, or even write a plea of mitigation on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Please do what you can, the cats and I would be quite lost if she received a long jail sentence again.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time.<\/p>\n<p>Yours Sincerely<\/p>\n<p>Chester Trellis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: Self To: peter Ikenga Subject: Mrs Trellis, an unfortunate incident Date sent: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:31:53 -0000 Dear Mr Ikenga I am Chester Trellis, husband of Mrs Ethel Trellis.
