Margaret removed her hat, slicker, and boots, then she crossed the kitchen to a door and said,
“Bath room is just down here,
I’ll start your tub then fix us a snack okay?”
“Okay, thanks, Margaret.”
Margaret looked at him with a quirky expression,
“Tara calls me Aunty, perhaps you should too.”
She winked at him in a friendly manner and disappeared down the hallway.
As Tarquin took off his shoes he saw headlights coming up the driveway,
it looked like a big car kind of like a state troopers car.
Panic gripped him and he ran down the corridor his wet socks causing him to slip, his fear also made his bladder fully release.
” Aunty Margaret I think the police are here!!” Tommy’s panic was obvious and Margaret shushed him with a finger to his lips.
She took his face in her hands and leaned down to look him in the eye.
“Easy Baby, leave them to me, they are just checking on me I am quite well known around here.”
