[Sprite-1]

When living at the orphanage I learnt to stay under the radar of some of the most notorious tyrants and it was there that I learnt to be observant, so this comes second nature to keep an eye on bottle being replaced, or pencil marked, even topped up because this was what my alcoholic father used to do. I will of course remain non-confrontational because it pays not to irritate my older sister. She speaks of being happy in her new job and being happy at home, so I suspect that she didn't intend going on a bender and that her roaring hangover was a first, according to Julie who of course, knows her sister so well.

Ted said his conversation with my sister remains private, and I respect that. He's a quiet negotiator, and people listen to him. So we have hope. Nevertheless I'll keep an eye on her and the drinks cabinet.

Thank you for your insight and help.
