Example text

Say this for you, Bryony, you don't make more noise than a bitch fox. Remember when I used to take you poaching? " "I'd half a mind to follow you in, in case there was something wrong, but then the flashlight went out and I saw this chap coming out of the vestry, sharpish, and bolting away across the graveyard. I'd have followed him, only I saw it was one of the Ashleys. And he didn't run far; stopped right by the yew trees, and waited. I reckoned he was waiting for you. He was out of sight of me there, but I'd have seen him if he'd moved.

I was just making a bite of supper, and you're welcome to have some. There's plenty. " Since I had obviously interrupted his cooking, and just as obviously he wanted his meal before he started getting the bike ready for me, I accepted. "I'd love that. K. " Mrs. Henderson had left her apron hanging behind the door. I put it on, and busied myself at the stove. I got the grill going, and laid the sausages and tomatoes to cook while Rob took things from drawers and cupboards, and, neat-handed as a sailor for all his size, laid the extra place and sliced some bread and tipped another helping of frozen chips into the frying basket.

But here he was, crowding me. Hullo, I said, but gaily, without anxiety. Shall I see you today? Shall I see you today? I wouldn't be surprised, said he, and the doors slowly closed between us like a cloud drawing over the sun. There was no sign of life from the Court. Curtains hung close over the windows. On the moat the swans sailed with their six grey young, and a blue heron fished busily for roach. The air was pure and very still. I took an hour, alone in the great neglected gardens. The swans cruised unheeding, the heron fished on.
