Oh that was such a heartbreaking thought. I love it that Tristram is so concerned about it all – more for the adults than himself sometimes!
”Affectionate. That actually sounds nice, not like the crude words the other kids snigger over…
Oh I have to agree. What a lovely word for John to use – something the children can really relate to.
”Father smiles back, a small one, but his eyes crinkle, and Tristram's heart swells. Then he goes back upstairs to Emily and Doctor Watson.
They understand each other perfectly well; it just seems complicated for Tristram when other people get involved.
I do feel ‘safer’ somehow with them back at Baker Street – not such a large area to get lost in, but obviously the danger’s far from over yet.
Building a tent! Just the sort of childhood experience Tristram would have missed out on in his exploration of owl droppings!! What a lovely – and comforting – experience for him.
