The Field Guide accompanied Floyd on all his walks after that. From it, he learned the names of some of the varieties of bivalve that were glued in the millions to the rocks. He learned about the different types of seaweed, so that he could tell the difference between thongweed and dabberlocks, and he took to carrying a trowel as well as the Field Guide so that he could dig in the sand for beach worms and amphipods. As the weeks passed, he spent less of his time walking and more of it crouched over a rock pool, or studying the debris of marine life that had been washed up along the shoreline.

When Mike appeared, it was usually to point out something that Floyd might otherwise have missed. It was Mike, for instance, who pointed out the impressively toothsome jaws of an anglerfish lying bleached among the debris left by the tide. And it was Mike who, on the beach at Holacombe, pointed out a turtle, a genuine sea turtle, walking casually across the sand down to the sea before swimming away.

And it was Mike, of course, who led to his meeting with Charity.
