"It's not polite to come in the bathroom when somebody's here. Mummy said so."
"Listen," said Jerry. "You listen to me, Andy Martin."
"What you want?"
"I want you to own up to breaking that record over at the Bullfinch house."
"What record?" Andy's voice was slightly muffled by toothpaste.
"You know as well as I do. 'The Stars and Stripes Forever.'"
Andy spit in the sink. There was a trace of toothpaste at the left corner of his mouth. His eyes were innocent. A bit puzzled maybe but unclouded by guilt. "I can't read the names on records."
"But you were whistling it at dinner."
