Shrapnel

by Tormod Caimbeul

Co ris a tha sinn a’ coinneachadh anns a' leabhar ùr seo? Anns a chiad anail, tha sinn ann an comhlan Eoin Iosephus Mac-a-Phi agus Fatsboy Donati, aig a bheil ceangal ris an aitreamh anns a bheil sinn, Donati’s. Ann an uine ghoirid, bidh Mac-a-Phi anns a Bhlack Bull, ann an comhlan Beatrice agus a Chailleach Bheag, ach tha sinne fhathast a coimhead mun cuairt, is a' faicinn an t-Sasannaich, “aig a chuntair, a shroin ann am paipear”. Coimhead suas an cuntair - chithear “an duine a bha a' gleidheadh na h-oige” agus Ella an Special Vat. A bharrachd orra-san, chan eil sa bhar ach An Uireasbhuidh Gnuis agus Murphy. Agus, thall san uinneag, William CBW Robertson. Tha tachartas an cuimhne CBW gar toirt an eolas do O’ Reilly, Wee Slash, Betty Colquhoun agus Veronica MacVie. Creutairean gu math borb, a reir coltais!
