Chapter 15

“How many times do I have to say I’m sorry?” Jack looked at me across the kitchen table. “I made you a fry-up, isn’t that enough to get you to forgive me?”

“Not even close. You inflicted Mr Hosey on me for four hours last night. Not just one hour. Not two. Not even three. Four whole hours. That’s two-hundred and forty minutes. Or fifteen thousand seconds.”

“Fourteen-thousand, four hundred, actually.”

“Shut up!”

“Sorry. How was I supposed to know he’d stay so long?”

“You invited him for dinner.”

“I was just being polite.”

“What have I told you about being polite? It’s asking for trouble. And did you see the way he eats? Yuk! The man was talking all the time—I could see every mouthful. It turned my stomach.”

“He did come up with the missing piece of track for me, though.”

“It wasn’t worth the sacrifice.”

“What can I do to make it up to you?”

“I haven’t decided yet. You owe me big time for this, Jack. You have to promise that you’ll never invite him over here again.”

“Actually—”

“What?”

“He said he’d like to come and see my railway, once I’ve got it all set up.”

“That’s just great. I’ll expect plenty of warning so that I can make myself scarce.”

“Where will you go?”

“Anywhere. Just so long as I don’t have to be under the same roof as that man.”
