MUM: What did you do to make him to tell that? I know him well and he’s a very sweet man...
ESME: Well, he told me to fasten the clutch but I pulled it so hard that I broke it... and then he told me to release the handbrake but it was very hard and I had to use both hands... and as I’ve only got two hands I couldn’t keep them on the steering wheel! And the car was in first gear, so the car began to move forward...
MUM: And what he says to you? Did he get angry?
ESME: He doesn’t say anything... he was astonished... but the worst still had to come... He tells me to press gently down on the clutch... but I was under so much pressure that I put my left foot on the brake... and I made him bang his head on the windscreen!!!
MUM: Oh dear... Now I understand why he says that he doesn’t want to see you again...
ESME: That’s not all... He always told me to look in the rear view mirror... and I did it, but to do so, I didn’t look at the road and...
MUM: Don’t tell me you have had an accident!
