‘You know I said I would tell you when we did it?’ said Mary ‘You’ve done it?’ I screamed. ‘What was it like? When? How?’ ‘What do you mean, how?’ said Mary. ‘No I don’t mean how, obviously,’ I said, giggling, ‘but when?’ ‘Well we haven’t exactly done it yet but we’re about to.’ ‘Really?’ ‘Elton’s mum has joined a bingo club.’ I must have looked totally bewildered. ‘Yes, that’s how I reacted when Elton told me. It means the house will be empty every Thursday.’ ‘You’re going to do it every Thursday?’ ‘Oh for heaven’s sake, Dottie, I don’t know. We haven’t done it once yet.’ ‘Are you scared?’ ‘I am a bit.’ ‘You will be careful, won’t you?’ ‘I’m not a complete idiot, Dottie Perks.’ ‘You can be, Mary Pickles,’ I said, frowning. ‘The thing is,’ said Mary, ‘I know things have been better between us, but I mean, even when we are together he’s still eyeing up other girls.’ I’d already noticed that but I couldn’t say it to Mary.
