One: They did not converse unless absolutely necessary. Two: All absolutely necessary conversations were to be kept as brief as possible. Three: In the event that more than the simplest of salutations was to be spoken, it was always best to have a third party present. And finally, four: For the purpose of achieving points one, two, and three, Gareth was to conduct himself in a manner so as to garner as many invitations as possible to spend school holidays with friends. In other words, not at home. In more precise words, away from his father. All in all, Gareth thought, when he bothered to think about it, which wasn’t often now that he had his avoidance tactics down to a science, these principles served him well. And they served his father just as well, since Richard St. Clair liked his younger son about as much as his younger son liked him. Which was why, Gareth thought with a frown, he’d been so surprised to be summoned home from school. And with such force.
