Peter-Bowman is in the middle of a rehearsal for a Sara Lee commercial featuring a new type of chocolate cake. He has a purposeful air about him and is humming. He seems to be humming Claire's song. As he passes a senior advertising executive he begins to hum a little more loudly. The senior advertising executive jumps out of his seat.

'That's the tune we need!', he says. But Peter-Bowman is already gone. The senior advertising executive is never one to let a disappearance such as that get in the way of a good promotion and quickly grabs hold of the rock musicians that always seem to hang around Sara Lee commercials. 'Can you play this for me?' asks the senior advertising executive, and begins to hum. He has no difficulty in remembering the tune though he only heard it briefly. it is that sort of tune, as I'm sure I've told you before. Claire was in fact the best rock musician to ever draw back the guitar pick. It is a shame that she will never play another note in her life. I can't help but feel a little responsible.

Nevertheless the song the senior advertising executive heard that day and used in his Sara Lee commercial was Claire's song. She deserves some credit for it. It is in fact true that this is the very commercial that is to later become responsible for getting the entire advertising industry hooked on chocolate cake. So now you know the full history of that particular affair. I hope you find it interesting. I certainly do.

I'm sure he only did it to humour me. Peter-Bowman is rather disappointed in himself, but would hate to cause a time paradox just to uphold his new found principles. He suspects that he will get his chance to uphold his principles quite soon.

Peter-Bowman did not actually vanish. He simply hid behind a potted plant when the senior advertising executive began to look for him. This is generally a much more efficient means of avoiding advertising executives than actually vanishing. It involves less wear and tear on the time streams. They are already stretched to breaking point by the hundreds of new phone boxes that are put in place each year, and it would not do to test them any further.

In the end, Peter-Bowman wandered out of the advertising agency and sat down in a handy park to await further developments.
