Ordeal by rain

George was trying to persuade Andy to come with him on a secret-squirrel shopping trip, in spite of the pouring rain.

Andy said he would, provided his brother stood outside in the rain for a minute. Remarkably, this wasn't a wind-up and he stuck to his word.

After his soaking, Dod said it hadn't been too bad, because he'd got dressed up right. "And by that," he added, "I don't mean I put my clothes on standing up."
