After the Cabaret (2013)
“‘But, in case it gets worse, my wife’s packed my skiing gear.’ Alistair was the businessman brother of Greg’s friend Hugh, with whom he, Katherine and two others had shared a house in Cambridge during their student days. ‘I heard this Pym guy was trying to come home years ago,’ he added. ‘There was an outcry. He must be, what?, eighty plus now?’ ‘Eighty-three,’ Greg agreed.
‘You wouldn’t want to be that age in Moscow today,’ said Alistair.
Club class of the BA flight to Moscow was full of busin...essmen, British, American, Canadian, Russian and others whose origins were harder to decide. Documents were read, laptops were used, some low conversations broke the silence.
With unwanted candour, Alistair told Greg about his girlfriend, whom he wished to make his third wife, though his second wife was not yet aware of this. ‘It’ll cost a bomb,’ he told Greg. ‘But luckily since number one, Deborah, remarried I’m not paying alimony to her any more. I could have kissed the bloke she married, poor sod.’ Greg gave a noncommittal answer and began to wonder if it was such a good idea to have hooked on to Alistair as a travelling companion.MoreLess
