ABSTRACT

Susan glanced at her watch, and was surprised to discover that it had just gone four in the afternoon. Daniel was off sick from school, and she’d given him his lunch hours ago, but had not gotten around to having anything herself. She was in two minds as to whether to bother at this point, or to just have a cup of tea and a Mars bar and wait for supper. Despite the temptation, she smiled ruefully as she remembered the conversation she’d had the previous week with Dr Stebbing.
