5:30. Then Perpetua appeared with a whole bunch of people from the office.



                   'Ah, Bridget,' she bellowed. 'What have you been to see?' There was a big
               silence.



                   'Actually, I'm just about to go to. . . ' I began confidently, ' . . . get the train.'



                   'You haven't been to see anything at all, have you?' she hooted. 'Anyway, you
               owe me seventy-five pounds for the room.'


                   'What?' I stammered.



                   'Yes!' she yelled. 'It would have been fifty pounds, but it's 50 percent extra if
               there are two people in the room.' 'But . . . but, there weren't . . . '



                   Oh, come on, Bridget, we all knew you had a man in there,' she roared. 'Don't
               worry about it. It isn't love, it's only Edinburgh. I'll make sure it gets back to
               Daniel and teaches him a lesson.'
