asked Rosie if there were any of my favourite jammie dodgers left.
'I can't be thinking of jammie dodgers at a time like this! Whatever's wrong with you, Johnny?? Daddy's obviously suffering from some sort of temporary mental lapse and he needs us!'

'Here give me the phone,' I said. 'Now Major, let me speak to the Fuzz.'
'Who's fuzzy? Are you calling me fuzzy, you impertinent whippersnapper? I'll have you know ...'
I hung up on him. 'Oh dear, we seem to have been cut off. Never mind ... he'll ring back.'
'But where is he?' wailed Rosie.

'Come up and see me sometime.'
This being a family forum, we'll draw a polite veil over what occurred between Cruella and Major F. But suffice it to say that the police did become involved, not at the request of the Major but rather in the form of a raid on an unlicensed premises.

...very out of shape he is. I gave up waiting for him to find the handcuff keys he'd dropped somewhere along the way. So I thought I'd find me boys, they're expert in the art of lock-picking, bless 'em.
