"They're French."

"In France?" I repeat again.

"That's where the French live, Clemmie," puts in Sam. "Awfully inconvenient, I know. Brighton would be easier but there you are. That's the French for you."

I shoot Sam an evil look and then turn back to Holly. "You said we would take her to France? How on earth are we going to do that?"

"James says that Sir Christopher will try to organize some flights for us."

"But I'm not sure I can get the time off work. I thought you meant we would drop her in Suffolk or something."

"Please, Clemmie," says Holly pleadingly. "I've already said to James that you will help, please come. It should only take two days; we might even be able to get there and back in a day. Besides, you speak French and everything."

"Couldn't we bung her on a plane here and let the people meet her at the other end?"

Holly looks miserable. "I just thought we're morally responsible for her, and if James sees that I'm doing everything I can to help her then . . ."

"Okay, okay. I'll ask Mr. Trevesky tomorrow. He won't be too pleased, although Wayne will be thrilled, but I suppose I can always get another waitressing job."

"How exciting! Your father and I could come too, Holly. For moral support. We can pay for our own flights," announces my mother. "You know I adore France. Besides, I'm practically a local." My mother can barely ask for a loaf of bread in French so I'm not quite sure what she is basing this on but I am very pleased to have them along nonetheless.

"What about Calamity Jane?” I ask.

"Well, we were going to have a few days off anyway. Catherine Fothersby is going for a walking holiday or something and I can leave Matt in charge."

"Oh, thank you," says Holly joyfully. "I'll call James and tell him. We can all fly over together."

"Whereabouts in France?" asks Sam.

"Down in the south somewhere. James didn't say where exactly. I'll go and tell Emma too. She'll be pleased that something has been sorted."
