“Surprise, mum!” he began. “I’m in Gatton. I’ve registered, and am free for ten days. Would you like a visit?”Sybil was delighted.“I pro...ably won’t be here, though. I’ve got a meeting a St. Hilda’s. Cat’ll be here. I’ll certainly be back between four and five, as will your dad.”“OK. I’ll check out and pay up and have a bite of lunch.
