As she had suspected, neither their uncle nor their great uncle was in sight. ![]() She gave a last-ditch, desperate look around. In order to tame these particular wild beasts, she was going to have to talk to someone in authority. As usual, the twins had offered her their angelic, gap-toothed smiles and had promised to behave, then moments later she saw them converge with four other boys to start playing this impromptu game of tag on the stage.
