- Comments
- John attempts to play agony aunt, as a frequent correspondent discovers to his horror that he has fallen for a girl who is a Tom Waits fan: "This is something which quite clearly I'm going to have to think about. You don't want to rush into advice and ruin young lives, but at the same time I don't think you can associate seriously with somebody who admires the work of Tom Waits, but I shall see what I can do to help this young man in his hour of need."
