Order Only: Ron, with Selwyn

[alt_arthur]

Selwyn's pressed me to bring Ron in to visit the office. Very friendly, we're-all-parents-in-this-together, and wouldn't it be splendid to give the lad an idea of the work his father does, etcetera. I put him off a couple of times, pleading the press of work, but I didn't dare refuse point blank. And so Ron's been here this morning, touring my dingy little kingdom, and very boring I'm sure he's found it, too. Percy, no doubt, would have found it enthralling at his age, but I'm afraid it's not quite Ronald's idea of splendid summer entertainment.

But now Selwyn's invited him to his own office for a friendly little chat. Just the two of them. With the door closed.

I can feel the ginger hairs on my pate turning more and more white every minute that door remains shut.

Well, I also think that your children can have no doubt that you love them, no matter what, and that's a powerful advantage over anyone trying to buy them with seats to a match or even a high-paying job.

But I know just what you mean about worrying for them, all the same. I can't imagine what it means that Justin Finch-Fletchley's been brought over special for the Cup. I hope he's really all right and not in any sort of trouble.
