The Peacock 566

 "Not far at all", says Carl.  "We're maybe ten kilometres from here, up the north road."

"You guys all live in a mansion, right?", says Tommy.

"It was built by my great grandfather, over a hundred years ago."

"Likely, most of them are true", replies Carl.

"There was once a nudist colony there?"

"That too.  But you're a bit late for that now.  We all keep our clothes on", says Carl.  "Except when we're taking a shower, otherwise we're never naked."

"Almost never", says George, giggling, and glancing at Jeffrey.

"Yep", says Jeffrey, nodding with a sad little smile on his face.  "Almost never."
