Loud chanting can be heard down at the ferry terminal. You can hear it in the woods, on hill tops, in septic tanks, and in the church, too. The echo of chanting even resounds through Murdina's sausage machine, as she sweats to meet demand for the latest recipe in her new range of sausage links - clam and hog's head cheese with mint and licorice seasoning. They're chanting, "Hurry Up Daft Uisdean."
Uisdean, under terrible pressure now, is being urged to complete the editing process on the second show of Lovely Day Radio. According to Jean, the show is nearly ready to broadcast. "It should be ready within the next two days now. We have another wonderful performance from The Glenpuddle and Munro First Crofter's Brass Ensemble, Est. 1862, lots of great music and features and a live interview with Hamish the bearded clam diver." She asks for "a wee bitty more patience". I couldn't help feeling that Jean was looking especially nervous, though.
Meanwhile, down at the ferry terminal, local gossip is circulating that the delay and editing problems has something to do with Woodworm Willie. The word "blackmail" was used several times. Why would Woodworm Willie be blackmailing Jean and Daft Uisdean of Lovely Day Radio, and what are the terms of his demands?
