"Our type"

[Trevor Mattiske]

The time:
A Saturday morning, the morning of the church fete.

The place:
The driveway leading to the church hall.

The players:
A sixties something woman, married, a matriarch of the congregation, a member of this church for over 40 years.
A late thirties something woman, unmarried, a junior partner in a city law firm, a fairly new Christian, associated with this church for about 3-4 years.

The circumstance:
Lawyer is leaving fete. Matriarch is arriving. They meet in driveway.

Matriarch:  "Well! What a surprise. You are something of a stranger to us these days."
Lawyer:  "I'm sorry. I find it hard to attend every Sunday. I don't know - it's my work ... worship ... and everything else. I feel so very tired on Sunday mornings."
Matriarch: "I wouldn't worry about it, dear. It's for the best. You're not really our type of person."
