A clean liver called Perdita, named after the liver spotted Dalmation from Dodie Smith’s The 101 dalmations, decided to go for a ride on her liver chestnut. Before she left, because she was suffering from a small amount of indigestion, she decided that she would take a dose of liver salts. The indigestion was caused she felt from her meal of the previous night which consisted of liver and liver sausages. She liked calves liver but not lambs fry but it had proved to be far too rich a meal. It always tended to make her feel a little liverish. She avoided alcohol as she was determined that she was not going to suffer from liver rot as  her father had.

She went to the livery stables to saddle up her horse. It was a beautiful day for a ride and she loved seeing the countryside outside of Liverpool still damp with the dewdrops of early morning. She particularly loved to find the small flowerless plant with lobed leaves. She didn’t know why she felt so happy when she found liverwort but when she did she would dismount and eat her picnic , liverwurst sandwiches being the sandwich of choice. Today as she munched with delight on her sandwich she thought of The Rocky Horror Show which she was going to see for the fifth time tonight. She just loved Reg Livermore in the lead as Dr Frankenfurter.

She again mounted her horse. She had a lot to get done before the play tonight. Her beauty treatment was most important. She was having special therapy to remove the loathed liver spots from the back of her hand and she was also supposed to be having a blood check to make sure that she didn’t have liver flukes after eating all those improperly cultivated snails. Such a busy day.  She had best get on.
