The McGregors live next door to the Quiller house at number nineteen. There's eleven-year-old Davy, five-year-old Paula, and their mum and dad.

I'm Sharma Menie, and I'm eleven years old, too. I live at number twenty-one with my four-year-old sister, Jayshree, and my mum and dad. They bought the place when they first got married. They didn't intend to stay, but that was thirteen years ago, and we're still here!
