1096 - TERSE

Professor Logan Smith was having To work from homE today as his wife had to attend a confeRence in a distant city. After getting the children settled into doing something absorbing and enjoyable, he settled down to his work. But half an hour later the children were making a dreadful noise and Logan had to break off. On entering the children's room, there was pandemonium, with snatching of toys from each other and tears and disorder. "Right! Settle down and back to what I set you up doing", was his terse, barked response and the room went quiet. This time he got another three-quarters of an hour of work done before being disturbed again. He didn't get an awful lot of work done that day and was so relieved when his wife returned the next morning!
