5. The Love of a Good Woman

Adrian runs away from home with the dog, but nobody notices. Mrs Thatcher calls a general election. Concluded by Harry McEntire.

The second book in the Adrian Mole series by Sue Townsend.

Adrian reaches 16, the age of consent and is on the run with the family mongrel.

A doctor prescribes bed rest and "no quarrelling in the family".

Adrian thinks Mrs Thatcher is rather selfish to go to the country during exam season.
