It aw worked oot perfectly an’ at aboot six, we drove back fae the Emmental. Uli’s first impressions wurnae so bad eftir aw. He didnae say a loat anyhow, an’ he didnae make a fuss. An’ this family he wis wi, these farmers, wurnae fundamentalists, ye kid see that right away, they wur used tae lookin eftir guys like Uli, knew the score, wur professionals kinda. It’s okay tae caw them that cos lookin eftir junkies, fur some farmers, is jist anither kinda branchin oot. Some ae them fatten calves an’ noo hiv rape fields. Ithers specialise in cheeses fae the Alps an’ keep goats. An’ ithers again take in junkies. They git grants fur aw they things. An’ like ah said, Uli’s first impressions wurnae so bad eftir aw.

Marta but wis greetin aw the way hame. A bit scared she wis, probably, naw knowin how things wid go. An’ how long she widnae see Uli fur. Oan ye go, Marta, love. Hiv a wee greet jist. A guid greet’s guid fur ye. Ahd greet an’ aw if ah kid.

Ahd a glass ae wine wi her afore ah went hame. Jist the wan. Ah wantit tae finally tidy up at hame, ye see, an’ listen tae ma music in peace.

This life ae mine kin be dead-dead strange awright. Whit ah wis tae experience later that evenin wis probably the best-ivver thing that kid happen tae me but.

Saturday night, eleven o’clock. Listenin tae music, ahd drunk masel intae a semi-kinda-trance so ah didnae know: shid ah jist hit the sheets or go oot an spread this wee rush. Door bell goes. Nae idea who it kid be, this time o night. It’s Regula, tears in her eyes, an’ she’s shudderin an’ shiverin. They’d hid a fight aboot Buddy’s parents who wur due tae come an’ visit oan Sunday. They’d talked aboot the visit. He’d accused her ae often naw bein nice enough tae his parents, ae naw makin an effort. He wis tellin her tae get her act thegither oan Sunday. She tells him his mother an’ faither done her heid in: aw they constant wee hints boot them gettin merrit an’ that. He tellt her tae watch whit she wis sayin aboot his mother an’ faither. She kidnae give a toss aboot his parents. Then he says summit else an’ she says summit else an’ things git louder an’ louder an’ mair an’ mair angrier an’ then even mair angrier. Buddy, at some point, totally flips: his folks at least showed intrist in his life whereas hers showed intrist in fuck-aw. She tellt him tae shut his face. Mibbe, her parents wur insensitive or whitivver, aye. Least they didnae get on yir tits but like his. An’ above aw: her parents wurnae so totally fuckin possessive.

An’ then he gi’es it: Say it again! Gaun, say it again! Dare ye, say it again! – Totally fuckin unoriginal or whit. Those wur the jerk’s very words but. Like some juvenile fuckin dickhead
