It serves us right for planning a vacation here during the rainy season. Our luggage is probably soaked. Cherise: Oh, no, I’d forgotten about our clothes. If the water doesn’t recede soon, everything will have mold and mildew on it. Don: The sump pumps are working as we speak. Hopefully, we can retrieve our stuff soon. Cherise: Maybe I should go downstairs and try to salvage what I can, before things get washed away. Don: What?! You could drown in all that water. Forget it! Cherise: Drown in three feet of water? Don’t be silly. Don: I’ve seen you swim. Come on, let’s just wait until we get the go-ahead. Cherise: I still think I should try. Don: I have one word for you: snakes. Cherise: Enough said!
