Case for Sergeant Beef (1981)
“He was fond of dogs, fond of all animals for that matter, and in a desultory way was studying with the hope of one day becoming a veterinary surgeon. His hours of work were not too long and his pay was generous. He thought Miss Shoulter a bit of a gorgon, but he liked the straight way she talked to him, and used to say that it ‘wasn’t like working for a woman’.
Jack Ribbon was rather apt to talk of ‘women’ just then, for they had begun to interest him, and he them. He was considered the best da...ncer in Barnford and never missed one of the village hops. He was concerned with such matters as ties, brilliantine, and a new suit which he had just obtained from Ashley. He knew himself to be a presentable youth, fair-haired, light-skinned, quick of eye and movement, with an easy laugh which showed his excellent teeth. He found that he liked girls. A year ago he had not been aware of the fact. Now he was aware of little else.
Not that there was ‘anyone special’. He knew all of them who came to the dances, but he had not yet started walking out with one.MoreLess
