It's parents' evening at Oliver and Freddie's school on Wednesday. It would be most helpful if you could please look after them while I converse with their teachers about their performances this term. Would you be able to see fit to extend a helping hand in this matter?
Peter, I'm afraid I shall have to press you for an answer now; if you are unable or unwilling to do me this favour then I shall have to make alternative arrangements.
