'Not that you read it Mat!' she threw back.
'Well, archery comes first you know and creationism takes up alot of my time,' he smirked knowingly.
'Yeah and I love hearing about your odd obsessions with that obscure topic,' she said with sarcasm.
'Dinosaurs, I'll have you know, have lived on the earth from 230 million to 65 million years ago,' he said smarting.
'Mat, we all believe that God created the animals and isn't that sufficient? We don't need to dig any deeper on that one - no-one's disputing it,' she told him.
'Okay, so, topic change for now,' he paused.
That makes a change, she thought. He was inclined to going on like a train smash, on and on, without a breath and whilst the listener blanked out from verbal overdose and irrelevancy.
'What's the fuel like these days?', he asked.
'What are you talking about - petrol or diesel. I hear it's all fine thanks, apart from the rise in price,' she said.
'No, what's fuelling your story?' he asked directly now.
She looked down at the floor.
He asked a third time.
She shook her head.
'I can't tell of craft secrets,' was her pithy remark.
