Corwin is having a hard week, with lots of writing and homework to do. As a result, he hasn’t had any TV or gaming since Friday. This evening Corwin was so desparate for some sort of electronic stimulation that he kept mentioning “Dora” to Alice in the hope that she would notice that the 24/7 Dora playing had stopped. Gratifyingly Alice didn’t ask for Dora until after Corwin had given up and done some homework.
