Georgia has promised that if anything were to happen to the old lady Georgia would take care of Norman. Fine, you might think. No, not fine. Not at all fine! Not when Dad can't stand cats& not when they make his eyes water, his chest wheeze and his nose block. And certainly not fine when one day a social worker arrives at the front door to say that Mrs Scott has had an accident and there clutched in his hand is a cat basket containing the irrepressible Norman. As adenoidal Dad himself would say (and did), "Oh, dear be!" | |||||
