“Seemed like a nice chap, really,” said Reg.

“Yes. Quite nice,” said Queenie. “You drive, Reg. I’ll sit in the back with Georgie.”

George was shattered: it was all he could do to comprehend that he was going home. “You rang the headmaster, didn’t you?” he asked her.

“Of course we did, darling. We were so worried.”

“What did he say?”

“He told us to come just like you said.”

“And you don’t have to go back there again,” said Reg. “Bugger that for a game of soldiers! Learn a trade!”

“Shh!” said Queenie. “We don’t know what will happen. We don’t even know what happened.” Queenie asked George to tell her everything, and he did. “Well,” she said in summation. “It was an experiment: an experiment that failed. Everyone tried their best. There’s nothing more to say.”

He fell asleep just as they entered the suburbs of London. The last thing he remembered Queenie saying before he finally succumbed was, “I can’t imagine what Frankie will say. A Fisher in the skin part! Honestly!”
