A Few of the Girls (2016)
“She wondered often what would have happened if she had never discovered, if she had never gone to the off-license that day for a bottle of sherry. Everything would have been different, or, more accurately, everything would have been the same, and gone on in the same old way, which was what she liked. None of the dramatic happenings would have happened. Life would have been as it always was.
She needed sherry because she was going to make a real, old-fashioned trifle; there was nothing she could... use instead. To have put in two glasses of brandy would have been ridiculously wasteful, and gin, she thought, wouldn’t have worked. Beer was out, so she had to go to the off-license, and since it was a nice day she decided to take the dog and have a proper little walk. She had been sitting down too much anyway; it would be good for her to have some exercise.
She knew Mr. Elton in the off-license slightly. She and Jim usually called in there on Saturday mornings after they had been to the supermarket.MoreLess
