Someone must have taken them. Richard? He was almost sure of it, he must have taken them in the night after Ben had gone back to sleep. But what could Ben do, he could hardly confront Richard about it, what if it hadn’t been Richard? If he asked Richard for them back, and someone else had taken them, that would be admitting to Richard that he was nothing but a bedwetter.
Ben worried about his nappies all day, he was unable to enjoy the London Dungeon, or the trip up in the London Eye, or watching the street performers in Covent Garden. All he could think was that without the nappies he would wet the bed, and everyone would see what a baby he was. He really hoped that it was just a joke, that Mike had hidden them for a laugh, but he knew how unlikely that was. Mike knew how much his bedwetting worried him, he wouldn’t use it to play a trick on him.
