All six of us – PM, SM, LF, TF, TPR and I – were away from home for a night together.

In our shared room, SM took the divan and I the camp bed next to it.

When I woke in the morning I saw that SM was still asleep, dressed in chinos and a pressed blue shirt. PM could not explain why her husband had not undressed for bed, but suggested that the reason might have been something to do with my snoring.
