giving charlie a look that would have stopped a charging rhino in its tracks he sent them off for some well-deserved shut eye , and as he steered them out of my room , and i lay there thinking that the reference to sheila hadnt been quite so painful ( i must slowly be coming to terms with reality ) , i heard him say to someone out of my line of sight , five minutes , before he returned to my room , but our little chat took a little longer than five minutes .
