Best excuse ever?

"Hello, I'm calling to arrange the second fitting for your suit..."
"I'm sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm busy rescuing a swan."


(I was also an hour late for dinner. Still, Best. Excuse. Ever!)

How is the swan?

Yes, how is the swan?

Soggy and battered but probably ok, fortunately! It's been taken away to a new home by a man with a very long stick and a duffel bag.

When last seen, it was strapped up in a bag with its head poking out, in the back of the swan man's van being taken away for a checkup and later release Somewhere Else, so it should be fine.

(It was a year-old cygnet that had been thrown out of home and ended up on our dock, where the look-like-they're-going-to-stay-and-breed pair took exception to him, trapped him behind a ladder and beat him up.)
