Did the Earth Move?
“She had barely been discharged from hospital when things started unwinding for Dennis in the most spectacular way.
His office was shut, his staff dismissed. He spent several days at home frantically phoning, swearing into the mouthpiece, ringing round for backers, former employers, clients – anyone who could help him out. Then, within several short weeks, it was over. Writs were issued against him, he filed for bankruptcy and the creditors came after him with a vengeance.
Before she had even be...gun to realize what was happening, valuers had been round the property putting a price on everything: the furniture, the few antiques, the cars and, of course, the house, itself.
The boys had broken up for the Easter holidays and were at home, quietly wondering what was going on as she and Dennis moved in a daze about the house.
She was settling into some sort of numbed shock. First the miscarriage and now this. There had been no time to grieve, to shed tears, to come home, curl up and feel sorry for herself.MoreLess
