Mine Host does not meet the Criteria

Charlie’s friend Tom Idle met up in Northwich in the morning as arranged, but having contracted a very bad head cold wished to be excused from the day’s cycling.  (I seem to remember that all you could get in those days for a cold were Beecham’s Powders, which came in individual paper wrappers, which you had to unfold and sprinkle the elusive white powder contents into a cup of hot water.  Now we have whole industries churning out cold remedies).  But he had a very rewarding day in the Cheshire Lanes, and employed some slippery footwork in the matter of ordering lunch for the cycle run on the following Sunday.
