Dear Arthur Stoat,

Yes, I would be interested. Please furnish details. Forgive this terse reply, but my time is entirely taken up with family problems at present.

Yours, etc. A. A. Mole.

PS. Do you publish fiction? I have a MS called Birdwatching available for publication.

Wednesday August 27th

I found Rosie crying in the bathroom. She was holding Ivan’s burgundy leather washbag over the toilet (the lid was up). I comforted her as best I could. She put the washbag back on to the cistern, where he keeps it. After a minute or two of silence I said, ‘You look pink and pretty. What have you done to yourself?’

She said, ‘I’ve washed my face. This is what I look like without make-up.’

‘And your hair, it’s sort of fluffy,’ I said.

‘Yeah, it’s not gelled down,’ she explained, frowning into the washbasin mirror. She lowered her voice and said, ‘Ivan complimented me yesterday on my aggressive and provocative image.’

‘So, you’re changing it?’ I checked.

‘Yeah,’ she said. ‘I dunno what to go for,’ she said. ‘Any suggestions?’

‘He was banging on about the “iniquities of fox-hunting” the other day,’ I said. ‘You could take to wearing the Quorn Hunt regalia, jodhpurs and a riding whip.’

‘Yeah,’ she laughed, ‘that would f------ provoke him, the b------.’

I took advantage of our mutual antipathy to Ivan the Terrible to say, ‘Rosie, have you ever thought you might be suffering from Tourette’s syndrome?’

‘F--- off,’ she said. And flushed Ivan’s exfoliating hand mitt down the loo.
