We had bought presents and cards for two young friends of ours who have birthdays about that time. We'd left them (the presents and cards, not the friends) in a bag in the "adult" living room but, later, when I came to wrap the presents and write the cards, the two presents were out of the bag in the middle of the floor, and the cards were nowhere to be seen. Puzzled, I asked Mrs Lanark (shall we call her Jedburgh?) if she knew where they were. No, the last she'd seen of them was in the bag.
So then I asked the little Lanarklets, Cambuslang and Airdrie if they had any information. Cambuslang looked coy and said Airdrie might know, and Airdrie then started rifling behind one of the chairs and retrieved the cards. So now at least I know what was going on when, earlier in the day, Cambuslang had disappeared and when I asked him what he was up to he replied, with a very cheeky smile, "I was being sneaky".
If I ever get arrested and asked what I'm up to, I think I'll try that line.
