OK, now you guys are scaring me!

Little story which is straight up!
A guy I draw for went to give someone a quote for the work on their house.
It was a woman who lived on her own and every so often, my mate heard her talking to someone but could only hear half of the conversation - he thought telephone conversation.
He left her with the info and price and she said she would have to talk it over with Stuart.
He sussed, there was a toy model of Stuart Little (off the film) sitting on one of the chairs in the dining room where she was talking to herself ...
There's no way I'm surveying that on my own if he sells it
