No,” Mr. Hunter said.

“No what?”

“No, you can’t leave your bag, I have to go out.”

“I have a key.”

“Of course you do.” Mr. Hunter gave a long-suffering sigh as if he were conceding a drawn-out argument. “Okay. Give me the bag, I’ll get the dog-lead.” He took the Topshop bag from Reggie and dropped it unceremoniously on the floor by the sink and then unhooked the dog’s lead from behind the door and handed it over. An eager Sadie bounded past him as if set free from prison.

“Oh, and Mr. H.,” Reggie said boldly (poking the bear), “it’s Thursday. Dr. Hunter pays me on a Thursday.”

“Does she, now?” Mr. Hunter said. He smiled at her, one of his nice smiles that recognized you as a special person, and took his wallet from the back pocket of his jeans and pinched out a small sheaf of notes without counting them. “Don’t spend it all at once,” he laughed, as if he were handing over pocket money rather than payment for a job well done. “Leave some clothes in the shops, okay?”

“Very funny, Mr. H. Thanks.” No point in telling him that she’d been on her shopping spree because two jokers had wrecked her house and her clothes. The Hunters didn’t live in that kind of world. Reggie didn’t want to live in that kind of world either.

When Mr. Hunter had gone back in the house and shut the door, Reggie counted the money. It was half of what Dr. Hunter gave her.
