"Who? What?" James asked nervously, unsure of where this was leading.
"Horatio's grandchildren" Elspeth explained "they always cause such a fuss and spoil the ambience. Now, if I had something to keep them occupied, a toy for them to play with.."
James couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was she seriously suggesting he become a child's toy to amuse a pair of bratty kids?
"Oh, what a wonderful moment of inspiration!" Elspeth clasped her hands together in self congratulation "You shall be disguised and make yourself useful at the same time! Now stand still, this shouldn't take a moment!"
