What Shall We Tell Caroline?
by John Mortimer
Synopsis
On Caroline's 18th birthday her parents realize they must tell her something: but what?
They themselves know very little about life.
Father is the headmaster of a small boys' school who treats mother like a good chap.
Mother for her part responds good naturedly to the harmless advances of the assistant headmaster, who is himself well over the hill.
Caroline is a strange and silent girl, but has been secretly growing up.
Before they can tell her anything, she tells them she is leaving to enter her own life.
