‘Wait,’ Ruth said.

 ‘Have you been hiding there all the time?’ he asked, clutching his half-buttoned trousers.

 ‘Most of it... but it’s all right, Caleb. I promise you I didn’t see anything. I could only hear. I just want to tell you—you’ve got to show her. Use your hand.’

 ‘Use my hand?’

 ‘Don’t pretend you don’t know about that,’ she replied. ‘All boys do it.’
