This scene took place in Crash’s father’s coach house, but it was an echo of a scene evolving all around the city.

Crash hadn’t been christened Crash. He was the son of a rich dealer in hay and feedstuffs, but he despised his father for being dead from the neck up, totally concerned with material things, unimaginative, and also for paying him a ridiculous three dollars a week allowance.

Crash’s father had left his horses in the coach house. At the moment they were both trying to squeeze into one corner, having tried fruitlessly to kick a hole in the walls.

“I reckon I nearly had it that time,” said Crash, as hay dust poured down from the roof and woodworm hurried off to find a better home.

“It isn’t—I mean, it ain’t like the sound we heard in the Drum,” said Jimbo critically. “It’s a bit like it, but it isn—it ain’t it.”

Jimbo was Crash’s best friend and wished he was one of the people.

“It’s good enough to start with,” said Crash. “So you and Noddy, you two get guitars. And Scum, you…you can play the drums.”

“Dunno how,” said Scum. It was actually his name.

“No one knows how to play the drums,” said Crash patiently. “There’s nothing to know. You just hit them with the sticks.”

“Yeah, but what if I sort of miss?”

“Sit closer. Right,” said Crash, sitting back. “Now…the important thing, the really important thing is…what’re we going to call ourselves?”
