‘I suppose so, yes,’ said
ugg boots on sale Moist. He didn’t say ‘you bastards.’ The warders had treated him quite civilly this past six weeks, and he made a point of getting on with people. He was very, very good at it. People skills were part of his stock-in-trade; they were nearly the whole of it.
Besides, these people had big sticks. So, speaking carefully, he added: ‘Some people might consider this cruel, Mr Wilkinson.’
‘Yes, sir, we asked him about that,

‘Not upset, are you, sir?’
‘Upset? Why should I be upset, Mr Wilkinson?’

uggs discount life: until you’ve got the pineapple off’f the top you never know what’s underneath. He says thank you, too.’
‘Glad he liked it, Mr Wilkinson,’ said Moist absent-mindedly. Several of his former landladies had brought in presents for ‘the poor confused boy’, and Moist always invested in generosity. A career like his was all about style, after all.
