'Nobody told me there was a young man on the aeroplane,' said Mr Carteret crossly.
'You saw him,' Mrs Carteret said. 'He was there when you met her at the airport.'

'He's twenty-eight, dear. Now go to sleep.'
'I can't sleep,' said Mr Carteret. 'Three o'clock in the morning and I can't get to sleep.'
'Just lie still, dear, and you'll soon fall asleep,' said his wife.
