Mrs. Woosh was not too pleased with him. Oh - here you are at last, Ern! she said. Well, weve almost finished dinner - and thinking you werent coming, Liz and Glad have eaten your share of the stew. Oh! said Ern, dismayed, for he was very hungry indeed. Sorry Im late, Aunt. Ive been with my friends and forgot the time. What friends? asked his aunt, in surprise. Well, theres Frederick Trotteville, and the Hiltons and… began Ern proudly. Liz and Glad tittered. Oooh, isnt he grand! said Liz. Those arent his friends, are they, Mum? You hold your tongue, Liz, said Mrs. Woosh. Liz nudged Glad and they both went off into giggles that made Ern long to slap them. If you were my sisters, he began, glaring at them, but Mrs. Woosh stopped him. Now, Ern, dont start throwing your weight about as soon as you come. Theres some cheese over there that your uncle left, and some bread. Help yourself. Weve got plenty of pudding left. Ern sighed in relief and began on the bread and cheese.
