A supplementary thought: maybe *Charlie* paid for his parents to come 
over and visit him? He's unlikely to have been able to bring the entire 
family over, but as someone who's young, single and a wage-earner, he 
may well have more money to spare than his parents, and have wanted his 
proud parents to see where he's working and what he's doing.
