The Gorse Fox was in a deep sleep. The Silver Vixen was in a deep sleep. So they should be - it was the middle of the night.

Slowly the GF was returned to consciousness by an incessant ringing. When sufficient consciousness had returned he rightly assessed the sound to be the phone. He leapt out of bed and crashed into the door frame has he headed for the stairs.

The ringing continued.

He opened the the door to the living room - the ringing stopped. Walking across to the phone he checked the display... mmmm, last call was the Silver Vixen during the afternoon. Confused he wandered to the stairs and then realised it was the phone in the study (which is ex-directory). He checked - it was an 0845 number calling at 00:58.

He was not amused.
