. i need a little rest , felix . it's hard work looking . did you know that ?"
felix and lucas took a suimultaneous step back exchanged some form of extraterrstrial communicvation - and without a word filed out of the room .
" i wins " i called ," pkease come back ."
they climbedd the stairs , still ominously silent , and went into their bedroom ,. the door banged . an object was dragged across the floor and thumped agaist it . i went up to investate ." felix . let me in ...lucas .." i rattled at thwe door , no answer .
i drooped to one knee . applied an eyr to keyhole , and saw the back of the paintd chair wedged agaisnt the door ." felix , lucas ..." i wished i should moree ceertain , more like a parent in control .
for all the rsponse . i got . i might as well have been in outer space . the twins were out of my sight but there were caution flurries of movement . the carpet pile pressed into my knee , my toes cramped as they always sis did in that position . in that position . i was a fool . in that position , the twins had the upper hand . as i got to my feet , apiece of paper shot under under the door ." go away . mummy " in green crayon .
i leaned against the wall and crumpled slowly slowly , wearily , to a sitting position . the misspelled ." mumy " was clear , accusatory , and reproaching . it cut like a knife .
this was usually the moment when i demanded ." nathan will you please sort this one our ? the twins are naughty revolting / obstinate /rying ...." looking back i issued the challenge to him more often than i cared to admit , and imperfectly concealing his pleasure at my SOS for a firefighter . . nathan would slouch into the fray ." you all need you heads knocked together just be firm ."
