Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are drafting a new city charter in hopes of improving life. Basically, they decided that the best way to handle things was to have every house in the city rebuilt as an exact copy of theirs, also decorated identically, and to require all residents to dress like them and request approval from the city council before doing or saying anything. More on this later, we expect.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are running for office, so they can have a national monument erected to themselves as an example to others, others who also are correct and proper models in all respects.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, had a fight but it got away and seems to be hiding in the heating ducts, hooting softly every now and then. They claim that if they stand very still they can also hear a slight but distinct hissing coming out of the darkness that is not their normal water leak. And some intermittent thumping.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, reserve Thursdays exclusively for holding court, by invitation, wear poofy skirts, and wait quietly for supplicants to arrive. Any week now, surely.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are starting a training school for homeowner's association middle-management aspirants. They're calling it "The What — Me Worry? School."

Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, don't "do" their own laundry. During the day. Women of quality are never seen at laundering. So ordinary, so lower-class. But since they lack the assets to hire live-in menials they sneak in their chores, at night, by candle-light, during the dark of the moon, while whispering.
