Quentin Kirrin told colleagues attending the symposium of the glimpse he had had of the future. Several sniggered and a few laughed out loud. Kirrin's defenestration was complete.

Anne's life had changed so much that earlier worries concerning custody of the picnic hamper and the tidiness of the tent interior had been forgotten. All she had now was an old Start-Rite shoe box containing things she felt were somehow important: an old copy of 'Bunty' with its back page which featured a cut-out doll and paper clothes bearing a handwritten addition 'We are lesbians'. She could not remember who had written it. There were several old bus tickets with the words 'Send Your Parcels By Country Bus' printed on the back of a few. A small well-thumbed booklet about hygiene in adolescence had an obscene drawing scrawled on the back cover with the name 'Peter!' added underneath. There was an almost exhausted orange-coloured lipstick in a tarnished gold-coloured tube with a broken push-up slide. It had a pleasant smell. Stuck to an oozing bar of Highland Toffee was a ten-shilling note. They appeared to be inseparable. And there was The Photograph. Snapped at Lulworth using Julian's expensive camera it showed George wearing a one-piece swimming costume crouched down by a dripping Timmy and smiling broadly. George could no longer get away with wearing just boys' swimming trunks, which irked him occasionally. Anne gazed at it often wondering did she admire George because George masqueraded as a boy, or was it because she knew full well that George was a girl. It was a mystery with the answer as yet unrevealed.

Fanny was surprised to discover that Quentin now had an attractive young secretary to assist him with the tests on the secret prototype missile guidance system. He said that she was particularly competent at filing, with an unerring eye for putting things in the right places.

Anne had unexpectedly grown up and married Peter, once the most insufferable boy in the Secret Seven and now an insufferable mature adult working in the insurance industry. Now Anne had four unruly children and a dependence on valium and gin. How she longed for the days when she was the only really normal one in the Famous Five. She never saw any of them any more, not since the big family row and Uncle Quentin's arrest and imprisonment.
