you've been sending emails pete. to mummy's friend veronica. i haven't! yes, you have. have not! and now mummy is cross and veronica is particularly cross because she didn't want to get that-- peter!!! ben, i just need to borrow daddy for a minute. it wasn't him. it was jake? no...it was me who sent the email. because veronica sent me an email that was full of the most unreasonable demands, so i fired something pretty explosive back, and then she rang me up in a total funk, and i was worried that she might sack me. how can we stop him behaving like some sort of, you know, junior jeffrey archer if you cannot even set an example? well... he doesn't need to know. i'm sorry. i just lost it. like you did in the road rage. oh, here we go. you are so pompous! if you could just make a bit more of an effort, if you could exercise just a modicum of self-control, then you wouldn't end up having to lie your way out of trouble. when am i gonna have that five-pound note you promised me for getting out of the house this morning? now, what have i just told you about not lying? he's getting worse.
