I know attitudes to child-care have changed since the sixties, but isn't it extraordinary that Edwin not only trusts two teenagers to look after his children all day, every day, but actually takes it for granted that they will look after them. Especially as Fob is only five, and looking after a five year old is a very different thing to keeping a nine and ten year old company.
