It rather makes me wonder just what Mr Jugson has in mind for when I turn 17 in October. They've been trying so bally well hard to make me feel part of the family I'm not sure whether it's so I shall stay or merely so I shan't feel ill-used when he tells me I shall be on my own.

Either way, what, I don't well relish offending them if I tell them I've no intention of burdening them further. I say, I think they've enjoyed the attention of fostering a notorious defector, if you follow me.
