James Black, lying beside the bed, suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, then picked up Jane Sampson together with the quilt, hoisting her over his shoulder and out of the bedroom.
As a person being carried away like a sack of potatoes, the position was truly uncomfortable.
Jane Sampson, grinding her teeth in anger, was somewhat relieved when James Black quickly placed her on a dining chair. He then yanked the quilt off her and said in a cold voice, "Eat first, then sleep."
Oh for heaven's sake! Is eating really that important?
Clinging stubbornly to the quilt, Jane felt a surge of anger because she was carried out and, in a voice mirroring James Black's stern tone, blurted out, "James Black, I think we must get a divorce!"
Because divorce won't disrupt sleep!
