In age Foggy, always Foggy to me, Clegg and Compo reverted to the boys they had once been, though, strictly speaking, Compo had never verted in the first place. Ivy, who ran the cafe, said of him "You'd think every day was playtime." To become as little children is a holy thing or, of course, in Compo's case, holey.
