Reading the advert he saw the opportunity. Charity with anonymity. Perfect. He found a small Petrus wine crate. He surveyed his study and began to think. A cashmere scarf hanging from the door.

“Can we swop? I have a thin scarf, a pen and a shiny watch I would not wear. Old stamps I will not use and car keys to a car at an address I cannot get to. Then a packet of stinky coffee and frogspawn in a shiny tin. No gloves, hat, or any soap. Yours has some of that. Come on, let’s swop”
