This is on topic, dear. After all, I think I get to decide what "on topic" is?
*She's been watching Peter closely during their stories, even amidst all the giggling, and she's convinced now that the man is just as human as he ever was, and just as harmless. (To the children, at least. She imagines he's still just as harmful to Tories.)
Still, much as she might regret cutting her chatting with Peter short, John probably has a point about moving on with things. She doesn't want to make herself a nuisance to Peter.
She turns back to the man on the bed.*
I don't want to outstay my welcome or tire you out. Shall I come back tomorrow? Or we can keep chatting if you like. I don't have to be back upstairs for a while.
