Candles and brothers

A good Annual Dinner.
A good speaker (who happens to have been at school and university with Elbows).
A good venue.

We have an extra dog for a week.
Cholmeley's brother Charlie has come to stay. Cholmeley is hiding in the corner.
I wouldn't hide if my brother came to stay.

Maybe Cholmeley doesn't have the confidence to put the kettle on, offer food and sit and chat with his brother.
