"Who picked the chocolate chips out of these biscuits?" she demanded to know. Mum was standing by the trays of newly baked biscuits that had been left to cool on the kitchen bench.

When it came to the extras in the food division, David preferred an apple or a sandwich. He would eat only small amounts of sugary food. Bill loved biscuits, cakes and pastries. He was an athlete and said he needed the fuel. Peter would eat anything that he could. He was only three years old and needed a lot of looking after.

Bill said it wasn't fair to accuse him. He'd just got back from a long run. Peter, rubbing his hands on his sweatshirt, said "Not me!" David shrugged his shoulders as if to say "As if!"

Looking up at all the skyscrapers, Angela instructed Kay to "Go into Alf's news agency over there and buy a map of the city."

She looked around for a seat. "It's the only way we'll ever find it. I know it's around here somewhere. When King Kong climbed up it in the original movie, it was the tallest building in the world."

Kay crossed the road and disappeared through the dark doorway. A few minutes later she came out and handed the map to Angela who opened it, spreading it out on her knees.

Angela clicked her tongue and said, "Oh!" softly, as if to herself. "Well, it's quite a few blocks from here. Quite a walk. Here, look."

Kay studied the map. She found where they were at the moment and traced a path to their destination with her eyes. She looked back at the starting point.

"Well," she said cheerfully, looking down at her feet. "It's OK, I'm wearing the right shoes." "I've just had a thought," she said. "I could have saved six dollars by just asking Alf."

After a short silence, during which Angela folded the map carefully placing the segment that they would need on the outside, she had another thought.

"I think it's amazing that we couldn't find the Empire State Building."
