      ‘It’s not fair,’ said Sophie indignantly. ‘Why do we have to go and stay with some old aunt we’ve never even heard of? Why can’t we go with you?’

      Jessica nodded in agreement. Their mother sighed.

      ‘We’ve been through all this before. I can’t take you with me because it’s not a holiday. It’s a work conference. It is bad luck that it happens to be in the school holidays, but that’s nothing to do with me. And yes, I do have to go.’ She frowned at Sophie who was bubbling over with objections.

      ‘I still don’t see why we couldn’t stay home by ourselves,’ muttered Sophie.

      ‘You are both far too young to be left alone, even though I know you would manage beautifully,’ their mother added hastily. ‘You should have fun with Aunt Hazel. She lives by the sea so you’ll be able to play on the beach.’

      ‘In winter?’ Sophie was outraged. ‘Beaches are no fun at all when it’s cold. You can’t swim or anything. And we don’t want to go and stay with Aunt Hazel, do we?’ she turned to Jessica for support.

      ‘I don’t like staying with strange people. Why can’t we go to Dad?’

      Mrs Jenkins sighed again.

      ‘That would have been a good idea but unfortunately he’s going away with Jenny and Sam for a last holiday before the new baby is due.’

      Both Sophie and Jessica scowled at this. Their father had left their mother and remarried some years before, but they still saw him regularly. They got on well with Jenny, his wife and her son Sam, who was the same age as Jessica. They hadn’t really expected to go on holiday with them but it seemed hard to be sent to someone they didn’t know.

      ‘What’s Aunt Hazel like?’ asked Jessica. Her mother smiled in relief at this beginning of a thaw in the situation.

      ‘I haven’t seen her for years, but we’ve kept in touch with cards every Christmas. As I told you before, she’s not really a proper aunt. She was a friend of my mother’s and we used to have fun staying at her place for holidays when we were young. Aunt Hazel always had a wonderful imagination and lots of ideas for games, not unlike you, Sophie.’

      Sophie refused to be mollified.

      ‘I still don’t see why we have to go and stay with her,’ she grumbled, and kept this up for the next week, until her mother was at screaming point.

      Sophie made a huge fuss when she was told to pack what she needed for a week’s holiday. She decided that she couldn’t leave anything behind in case she needed it.

      ‘What on earth do you think you are doing?’ her mother cried in exasperation as she saw the
