There were also rumours that the non-Catholic girls frigged shamelessly, the

lucky things, because in their religion it wasn’t a sin.

After a while I forgot about this embarrassing incident, except when we

passed one another in the corridor. Every time I saw her I would blush, but

she would just smile and say “Hi!” with her rather ugly, lop-sided smile.

There was something fearless, unrestrained about her.

I thought less and less about Fiona and the embarrassing incident.

Fiona’s

name came up in conversation one day, though, when one of my friends mentioned a rumour that Fiona had been seen going through other girls’ pockets in one of the changing-rooms. Perhaps because I was mindful of the

power of rumour, particularly in connexion with Fiona, I at once leaped to

her defence, angrily denouncing the tittle-tattle and declaring that even if

there were any truth in it – which I had and still have every reason to doubt

• the correct thing was to report such matters to the proper authorities,

not gossip about them. My friends were quite shocked by my reaction, I

think: they were careful not to spread slanderous gossip in my presence for

days afterwards.
