A toast. Speech. Speech.

My father thanked everyone for coming. My father thanked his bonny missus. The new Mrs Williams. My father thanked his witnesses. My father thanked his bridesmaids. Everyone was to enjoy themselves. Everyone was to eat. Eat. Eat. I sat at the table furthest from the bar. In the left-hand corner. In between Aunty Maggie and Mrs Ward (Number 12). I didn’t speak. I ate as much as I could. I ate till I could hardly move. I ate till I would burst. I ate till it began to stick in my throat. I went to the toilet and I was sick. It just happened. I bent over to pull up my knickers. And I was sick. I saw the chicken. I saw the egg. I saw the trifle. I tasted them all again. I tasted the bitterness. I liked the bitterness. I went back to my chair. I sat. I watched. I listened. I ate.
