poppy Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Bertram Wilberforce sat staring disconsolately out the window. At thirty-five he felt life was rather overlooking him in the excitement department.

Now it's time to show him that he, Bertram Horace Wilberforce, could live up to the family name and expectations. He would soon show them what an undercover agent looks like. He couldn't wait to announce to his father that the son would outdo the father a hundred times.

He liked to escape from Bertie's mother, Hortense, a fine woman in most ways, but inclined to try to organise him with long lists of jobs. He was quite safe there as she could never remember how to spell the club's name. Bertie groaned and ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Bertie was tempted to go and look over their shoulders, but he was still rather intimidated by Annabelle Chiffon or Ms Mastodon as he secretly called her. But it wasn't long before she imperiously commanded him to join them. 'See this, Bertram,' she said, jabbing a well manicured scarlet talon at a point on the map, 'I want you and Trixie to go here, act as a courting couple, no hanky panky, mind!' Bertie blushed bright red, he'd never so much as had a girlfriend, let alone engage in any kind of hanky panky. 'When you get there,' Annabelle continued, ' ...
