Problem: I made it back in just in time before the rain . Since Miss Elmira did not have to prepare my dinner , I asked her to do my nails and luckily I found some red polish . Jamal called yesterday and he called back last night but it was lightning and I told him I would call him back . I was planning to call him back last night but I slept until 6:42 a.m. this morning .

Who is Miss Elmira ?

A: She has been employed by my family for many years .

Problem: " Got a point there , " he agreed ruefully . " But what does Gojyo really think he can do ? S'far as I know you 're the best one at pickin ' through Sanzo 's head . "

Why is the narrator suggesting they speak to Sanzo .

A: The narrator believes the subject knows Sanzo well .

Problem: I ' m beginning to think I am the messiest cook though . Honestly , in the midst of making most anything it looks as though Pigpen has taken over leaving his trail of litter - because the counter is covered with spills and dishes and flour or whatever ingredients I am working with - and I even clean up as I go ! I keep my kitchen neat and tidy , but in the midst of creating something , stuff just flies and spills and even ends up on the floor . Maybe I just need more counter space .

Which is true of the narrator ?

A:
They are an enthusiastic cook .
