Death of a Hollow Man
“People who could not adequately function without their Sainsburys or Marks and Spencers had to travel to Slough or Uxbridge. But those who stayed at home were capably if unadven-turously served. In the main street were a supermarket and a fishmonger’s, a dairy, a bakery, and a very basic greengrocer. Two butchers (one first class who hung his meat properly and could prepare it the French way), Mc-Andrew’s Pharmacy, which also sold perfumes and cosmetics, two banks, and a hairdresser’s, Charming... Creations by Doreece. There were two funeral parlors, a bookshop, the wine merchant’s and post office, and a small branch library.
Causton also had three eating places: Adelaide’s, which produced every combination of fried food known to man from behind a phalanx of hissing tea urns, and the Soft Shoe Cafe, which served home-made cakes, cream teas, dainty triangular sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and morning coffee. There was also a pub, the Jolly Cavalier (née the Gay Cavalier), which sold shepherd’s pie and goujons in a basket.MoreLess
