They went up to Peter’s room which like the rest of the house, is absolutely spotless, tidy and organised. Mike glances around the room which is much the same as it’s always been; helicopter wallpaper, stars and galaxies on the curtains and his shelves filled with the books, games, gadgets and gizmos he’s collected over the years. The only recent addition is a dressing table which is home to his cosmetics, all neatly laid out beneath its oval vanity mirror. It looks very out of place in a typical boy’s bedroom, but that’s not the only thing that looks like it shouldn’t belong. Hung from the back of the door is a grey domestic dress, identical to the one Charles is wearing and a frilly white pinny assembled over it.
