Case #4: Video

[19centconstable]

From the looks of things, everybody else's parents have shown up.

[George's expression clearly reads: well isn't this all good natured-ly humourous?, but it doesn't quite reach any of his edges. George is in George's room, and for once he isn't dressed in his constable's uniform. Oh George, did you misunderstand this flood and go back to wait in your room dressed in your good grey suit thinking that mother might show up? You did, didn't you?]

Does anybody know where the people whose parents have shown up have gotten to? Only I haven't heard a thing out of any of them, and this is certainly the sort of thing you'd expect a person to say a thing about. ...Not that I think there's any cause for worry. I'm sure they're perfectly fine. And it's a pleasure to have you here, Mr. or Mrs. ...your child's name.

Should anybody need a hand, or a police officer for any reason, I'm George Crabtree, and I still am one.

Were they invited here too, or just you?

I suppose I should be thankful my cousin Penny isn't here. I wouldn't like to think of what she might get into.

I don't know if they were asked. I doubt they'd come. We weren't more than an obligation to them.

Well I think it was very kind of you to have come, ma'am, and if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask.
