Chapter Six

On Saturday nights Dan and Maggie usually went out to The Dollymount House with some friends. Tony and Rita owned a lighting shop in Coolock.

“We’ve got some lovely new uplights in,” said Rita, as Tony handed her and Maggie their drinks. “You could put one in the corner of the living-room. It’d look really well.”

“Maybe,” said Maggie.

“They’re going like hot-cakes,” said Rita. “Of course all the trendy young things are buying them.”

“Oh?”

“Yes. Especially the people living in the new apartments. They all think they’re being different and stylish, but they’re all buying the same stuff.”

Maggie smiled.

“We had a couple in this morning,” said Rita. “Spent an absolute fortune on lighting. Kept kissing each other as they walked around the shop.”

“Thank God we’ve got past that!” Dan, who’d overheard the last sentence, butted in. “I can’t see me and Maggie kissing our way around a shop.”

“Sure, you don’t kiss me at all!” blurted Maggie.

“No.” Dan laughed. “We move straight into something far more interesting.”
