“He’s along here.” She led the way along a wide corridor.

“A bedroom and sitting-room—there’s a door into the garden; he likes gardens—my mother lived with us until she died and we furnished the rooms for her. Of course he uses the other rooms; has his meals with us unless he decides he doesn’t want to, often spends the evening watching television and talking loudly all the time. He won’t have it in his room but he has got the radio. He comes with us to church but he doesn’t like the children much and he loves his solitude.” Mrs. Soames paused with her hand on a door-handle and knocked.

A voice thundered, “Come in,” and she opened the door and encouraged Deborah with a hand on the small of her back.

“Morning, Uncle,” she said cheerfully, and started to cross the floor of the room. It was a large apartment very well furnished, its windows overlook inga rose garden, its doors open on to a patio. The old gentleman was sitting by the door, and facing away from them—all Deborah could see was a shock of white hair and an upraised newspaper.
