They said they’d keep the light on for me and they mailed me the keys. 

     The conversation went like this: 

     “Hello, is this the Jolly Time Laughing Academy?”

     “Yes.  How may I help you Madame?”

     “I’d like to reserve a room please.  I’m on your regular customer list.”

     “Would that be the usual or would you like one with deluxe padding this time?”

     “How much more will that cost?”

     “We’re running a special this week.  It won’t cost any more than a regular cell…um…room.”

     “Does it include the usual meds, meals, and fancy lace up the back jacket with funny sleeves?”

     “Why, yes it does.  And will Madam be staying her normal length of time?”

     “Yes.  Could I have one with a view of the gardens?”

     “Why certainly.  Would the south garden suit you?”

     “I think that will do it.”

     “We’ll leave the light on for you.”
