So on the 26th I was there at 9 am, asking his receptionist if I could see him. I’d lost almost all control. All I could think about was the examina...ion. I was seen at 10.15 am, with him looking so different in his white coat. Of course, he knew what I really wanted, and so he told the nurse to leave us alone for the ‘consultation’. He told me to go behind the screens and undress for him, and to take everything off except my shoes. I could hardly breathe I was so excited as I came out and stood. They’d learnt enough from Tiger Lilly what police attention might entail.

He thought it was going to be a hilarious joke on the Multiverse Government when they learned about their mistake.“Kendrick speaking.”“I just got back to the estate, Kendrick. We can leave for Balsam as soon as you and Shelia can get here. I am going to have to go to Timson from Balsam. I recall you mentioning your mom watching your kids, so do you and Shelia want to go with me or return here? I expect this to take one.
