“I was hoping to see your mother.” Mrs Peters said. “Is she in?”
“She’s at work.” Charles replied, before stating when she’d be back.
“Oh well… could you tell her we called.”
“Course.”
“And ask her to give me ring.” she said. Charles nodded. “There’s something I’d like to run by her.” she added as she sent a suspicious glance toward Mike.
“OK.” Charles replied. She and Mike left and Charles politely bid them farewell, before having a little panic. His hand rubbed his forehead as he grumbled “Why did they have to turn up?” Mike, along with most other people Charles knows, is fully aware that he has to wear make-up and a frock whilst doing his chores and a significant few have seen him.
