Lola Hussey beamed with joy, her laughter unusually buoyant and melodious, "Yes, please proceed."
Next, the guests of the program, along with other staff and photographers, listened in astonishment to the man on the phone reciting the periodic table of chemistry.
He finished.
Lola Hussey said, "My call for help was successful, I passed the round."
Ethan Ainsley replied, "Hmm."
It seemed as if everything had been communicated without words.
Tanner Stella, who had remained silent and found the situation far more unexpected, suddenly broke the silence and asked in a joking tone, "Lola, who did you ask for help? Can you share with us?"
It was a really good question.
The crew was wondering how they should edit the footage when it aired if they didn't know who the caller was.
If it had really been her brother, that would make the editing easy.
If this brother happened to be Simon Watson, it would be even better.
