<strong>"He is not the only one."</strong>came Valentines voice from the hallway moments before he entered the drawing room. A smile on his face as he had not seen his good friend in a long while.On his way to him he placed his hand on Evies shoulder and gave her a smile<strong>'Wonderful to see you too Evie.."</strong>he leaned in close to give her a small peck on the cheek and whisper something into her ear ".. I happen to have a new paddle.. perhaps we can try it out later." he said to her.<br/><br/>his attention then turned back to cyril and he patted the man on the back.<strong>"Good to see you again Cyril, its been far to long."</strong>he was wonderfully bemused by the state Alistair's new toy was in. He had a wicked idea and just could not refuse the temptation.<strong>"brother, is that your new toy. My , my.. what a remarkable recover she has made.. just moments earlier you said she had scavies from head to toe.. you do work such wonders."</strong>
