"Asleep?"
"Yes. It seems that one of them got excited and spilled a big can of chloroform on all three of them. They looked very relaxed when I left."
"Probably needed the rest," Marc said. "They seemed quite energetic." He patted her shoulder. "So do we. Shall we go home?"
Julie nodded. Marc started the car.
"Marc...?"
"Yes, dear?"
"About that girl, the one with red hair. That was very silly of me, wasn't it?"
"Silly?" Marc asked.
