When Mr Wilde gave out cards, only two of the three children understood what they were for.
"What's this?" Alex asked.
Scarlet giggled in response. "It's a travel card, silly."
Alex blinked. "Why do we need travel cards?"
Mr Wilde was patient. He had a long discussion with his wife the night before about how much freedom they should allow the children. Now that they were ten, it was about time to give them some responsibilities to ease their transition into young adults. Jasper and Scarlet had no difficulties stepping up to it, but they were slightly worried about Alex.
