A Short History Of Indians In Canada - Plot & Excerpts
“You should have seen it,” she told her husband, when he got home that night. “A mother and four babies. Paraded right past me as if they owned the place.” Alistair Doogle wasn’t at all sure about skunks parading through the backyard. “Fred and Lucille had skunks under their deck last year,” Alistair told Evelyn, “and it took months to get rid of them.” The raccoons showed up that evening, pulled the plastic cap off the roof vent, and settled in the attic. Alistair could hear them scrambling around the rafters as he watched Monday Night Football. At halftime, Alistair got a broom from the kitchen, and, during the commercials, he banged one end against the ceiling, and barked like a dog. Then he walked over to Durwin Milroy’s house. “I need to borrow your ladder,” he told Durwin. “Fred has it,” said Durwin. “He’s got raccoons in his attic.” “So do I,” said Alistair. “Now that’s weird,” said Durwin. “So do I. You want some coffee?” Alistair and Durwin sat on Durwin’s front porch in the dark and watched a coyote chase a cat down the block.
