It is Louisa’s first day back at school
and their new child minder, Mel, is late for work. When Mel finally does
arrive Martin is dubious about handing James over to this woman who is
constantly scratching. That evening Martin has to go to the school
concert. He tries to be sociable and ends up inviting Dennis Dodds over
for dinner. Dennis is the chairman of the school’s board of governors
and in Louisa’s opinion he is a pain in the neck.
