‘Dinner’s almost ready.’ Victoria called from the kitchen.
‘Alright – I’ll have a quick chat with Bundy. Kate, do you want to talk with Victoria?’ Quincy asked in a voice to ‘leave the men alone’ tone.
Bundy filled Quincy in with the latest development of Ralph meeting Mary and subsequently having a roll in the hay on top of the stables at the Exhibition Grounds in 1990 resulting in the pregnancy of Peter.
Quincy raised his eyebrows with surprise, ‘you and Kate have done a great job. Now it’s my turn to see if Ralph is the father and if so, I’ll let you know before Saturday. Can Victoria and I come to the races with you and Kate Saturday night?’ Quincy asked.
‘Of course, you can. You remember where it is. What say I order a table at the restaurant and we’ll make a night of it? From here we’ll let Mary know about this latest discovery; she might come along also.’ Bundy explained. They were called inside for their dinner.

She was excited and thrilled about the outcome but couldn’t say anything at this point before the DNA test was completed by Quincy. She stayed the night at Bundy’s home.

She heard noises coming from the kitchen and imagined it was Bundy making breakfast. She looked at her watch to see it was seven o’clock.
‘Thank you, Bundy.’ With the door closed she called loud enough he could hear...
