‘So, what was all that about?’ I asked Dorothy when I returned from my week in Wales to find he hadn’t made a start on the work. ‘I asked you to send me Peter and you sent the Stonemason Who Never Was. Was that your idea of a joke? Well, I don’t think it’s funny, Dorothy, because I’m all in now, and I really could have done with some help, and what did I get? A fruit, a fruit named Peter!’

Which was when I heard her. Or thought I did. Oh, who knows what I heard. But it was a voice and it didn’t sound like mine. For a start, it was much too calm.

So, Peter was not the man you thought he was.

This felt odd, unnerving. But I stood my ground and stamped my foot.

‘Is that it?’ I demanded.

No response.

‘Now, listen here Dorothy, I know Peter isn’t the man I thought he was; I’m not a complete idiot. I know very well that he isn’t a stonemason from an army background who goes round offering to relieve people of their subsidence; I have grasped that much thank you. So will you please stop messing about and send me the Real One next time. Why? What do you mean, why? Because I want Peter, that’s what I want!’

And I stamped my foot again. But I was running out of steam, and by the time I got home, I was pouring with sweat. I took a bath, but it didn’t really cool me down.
