Colin,

Just an idea for Christmassy.

" To survive the Christmas Foe-gathering and keep things structured, Hallam maliciously suggests a group activity: Mind Field. Being the patroness of the ‘No More Landmines Trust’, and being unable to sit still, Verity reacts in an enthusiastic way.
Hallam scatters some objects - ‘mines’ - in the garden: balls, bowling pins, cones, foam noodles and miscellaneous other props. The three go outside. Then Hallam verbally guides Verity, being blindfolded, through the minefield. While talking her through the field, Hallam fakes a concentrating and caring tone to his stepmother: “Stop… forward … left … right, Verity. Look Julius, she’s doing quite well, isn’t she?” “Really a chance to work on relationships” replies the senior of the Foe household.
At first Verity experiences a sense of trust, feeling safe and secure. But since Hallam decides on the penalty when she touches an obstacle, he deliberately makes her touch Julius or hit mines after a while. Exhausted after all her push-up’s, pull-up’s and sit-up’s, the blindfolded stepmother finally ends up in a deep filthy sewer well … taking all her guilty secrets with her! "

See you!
