“That’s fine,” said Harry.“My little girl can’t swim a bit yet.Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly.“I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother.“I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said.“But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Er, well——” the woman looked at the child.“I mean...she hasn’t started school yet.She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam.A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…£13.50.So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe£1.50.The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”
