So that was all fine. But then, after they’d gone, I got out a bottle and had a drink or two and then another. Down the hatch, a glass lest we be dry. Here’s to hell – may the stay there be as fun as the way there. I thought back over it all. It was that moment with the photo, the talk of the funeral. I know that Brian hadn’t meant anything by it.

I’d really done her proud. He was talking about Margy but I heard it as though he was talking about Bolly. As though he had said that Bolly didn’t have much of a funeral, wasn’t worth much of a funeral, wasn’t worth anything at all. Before I knew it, sitting there alone in the waning light, I had worked myself up into a terrible anger. And no matter what I did I couldn’t let it go. I just heard again and again all the things they had said about Bolly and about me. You’re so soft. Just give up. We never really knew him. On and on they went. No matter whether I was driving the vicar around or cutting the grass or unblocking a gutter, the words just came at me again and again.
