Moll

October 2012

By John B keane

When Canon Pratt and his two curates, Father Brest and Father Loran, lose their exteemed Ms Bottomly, they must recruit a replacement to carry on with the cooking and cleaning. They select Ms Maureen Kettle, aka "Moll". She wraps the Canon around her little finger, feeds him well while starving the curates and continues this pattern as the Canon is promoted and one on the curates takes his place. When it comes to the question on Moll’s pension, more chaos ensues.
