"So what's dis big ting wese all 'as to watch television fer?" Clayton Dove asked of Lindsay, as she passed him a beer.
"Youse knows as much as Ise do, Clayt. Youse got da same text dat Ise got. Da same text dat everyone gots."
Lindsay showed her cellphone message to Clayton.
"All Matty says is we all 'as to watch CTV at seven thirty."
She looked at the clock over the bar.
"And that bes in a few minutes, so youse best get a seat."
Lindsay got everyone's attention in the Pub.
"Okay all of you. Sit down and bes quiet, while Ise turns on the televisions."
Everyone gathered in the bar sat, as Lindsay opened the remote control on the Pub's iPad and turned on the six big screen televisions mounted around the Pub.
A message flashed on the screen.
"Okay. Everyone shuts up and listen."
A man's voice came over the television.
"We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for this special message from the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Premier Best is broadcasting from his home in St. John's.
Wheel of Fortune will return tomorrow night, at its regularly scheduled time."
The message disappeared from the screen and a picture of a desk, with bookcases in the background, filled the screens.
"'e bes a ghost," Wike Rideout barked out.
