"Oh! (name)! You’ve met Phyllis, right? The gal? At the post office? Works the night shift? Yes! Right! I’m guessing you’ve met her.

Anyhoo. Phyllis. Frequent visitor. Stops by here. Afternoon, usually. Says she doesn’t like being seen outside of work. Embarrassed when she runs into residents. Little odd. But she’s here all the time! Isn’t that right, Mr. Nook? Here all the time. No qualms about it. Boom.

And… There’s her younger sister. Pelly? Works the post office during the day? Right? Right. Get this: Phyllis. Says she’s worried. That Pelly might need her for something! So she gets up early! Must be exhausted. Poor girl. Rarely sleeps. Afraid she’ll collapse from overdoing it, aren’t we, Mr. Nook?

> …That Phyllis is a total workaholic! It’s like she can’t relax unless she’s working!

That’s no way to live! <

Dangerous ground, though. She’s be upset if we told her that. “Mind your own business!” She’d say that. Bam!

> I’m familiar with what it’s like to throw oneself into one’s work, but her tunnel vision is absurd! <

Think I can learn from Phyllis. Learn how to take work a bit more seriously. Nose to the grindstone! But… Better not say that to her. Bet she’d get mad at ol’ Lyle. Bust chops like there’s no tomorrow!"

 

Say, Brewster, has Phyllis been in here lately?

> Coo. She comes in a bit earlier than you do, Nook, before going

off to work...

I see!

She's working just as hard as she always has.

She's a bit rough around the edges, but you can tell she's very serious

about her work.

She's been working the late-night shift for a rather long time now.

Anyway, next time she comes in, tell her I said hello!
