Mason smiled, "What about wardrobe?"

Nigel looked confused, "Wardrobe? Wardrobe is yer birfday suit, me ol' China! Now, get yer kit off and let's get on with the ole' 'ow's yer father!"

"Herbie, have fun with your debut in the acting world. I'll come back later to pick you up," I said with a smile.

"Cousin Jacob, don't leave!"
