One day, Bob shows up outside James’ front door. The cat returns every day, until James eventually lets it in and starts taking care of it. Today, the cat has followed him to the bus, and joins him to work in Covent Garden for the first time.

Ordinarily it would take me a good ten minutes to get tuned, start playing and get people to pay me some attention. Today though a couple of people slowed down in front of me and lobbed small denomination coins into my guitar case even before I’d played a note. Generous of them, I thought. It was as I fiddled around, tuning my guitar, that the penny eventually dropped! My back was turned to the crowd when again I heard the distinctive clinking of one coin hitting another. Behind me I heard a male voice. “Nice cat, mate,” he said.
