Norah looked up to see Waffle and Heather approaching. “We must get on” she said “he’s coming round”.  All five of them tripped down the stairs to the dungeon. Heather gave Friar Tuck a cold look but made no comment.
“I hope he’s secure” said Heather to Norah, “you should never have left him – you know his nickname used to be Houdini Jack”.
Norah curled her lip and said “I don’t think you need to worry”. She took out the large key from her pocket and slipped it in the steel lock in the thick wooden door. Inside “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” could be heard on the TV. Norah entered the room and gasped. Heather quickly pushed past her. Two pairs of handcuffs were dangling from the radiators but there was no sign of LJS. Bobble let out a tiny sigh and fainted.

Oh crap. Sorry chaps – I appear to have buggered up.
PS when I curled my lip, was it like Elvis? It was like Elvis, wasn’t it? Was it? It was. I knew it. Uh huh huh.

Bobble, you’re right, as discussed. Norah, of course. And another sweetie, cool. Thanks. FT, well, that’s what you think.

Oh, so I see how it works around here! You have to fall prostrate on the floor while howling to get your way.
