Turns out there was no need to worry anyway, thanks to Mr. Arachnid. (Aren’t women supposed to be scared to death of the little buggers with their tendency to draw the unsuspecting into their webs for all kinds of devious reasons?) His first appearance created anything but fear. Clad in his usual Gros Islet button up with two buttons down shirt, his regular calm demeanor in place, the curiously reassuring arachnid addressed the nation on the matter of the impending visit. Of Matthew, not Harry. Might this be the reason Matthew saved his worst lashes for zones outside Helen?
The Arachnid’s bravery didn’t end here. Right after the storm he took a flight! Calm down, I’m not saying what you think I’m saying. By reliable account he took the opportunity to get a first-hand aerial assessment of what Matthew left in his wake, particularly in the island’s agricultural areas. Not bad for someone who was only acting chief when Matthew landed here. No doubt the boss will pat himself on the back for choosing the right man to substitute for him in his absence. Did he overshadow the boss? Hey, the boss has yet to weather his first storm, right? Meanwhile give him the credit he deserves. I mean, he coulda chosen a certain always hungry minister to hold the fort while he was away. And we all know how the particular minister does get on when hunger strikes and there’s no Snickers around.
Well, adios until next time. . .
