“Aidan fell into an exhausted sleep anyway, as soon as Mrs Stock had shown him to the spare room. Downstairs, things were very unrestful. Mr Stock was enraged at the way Mrs Stock had thrust Shaun into the household. Mrs Stock could not forgive Mr Stock for producing Stashe. She was fairly annoyed with Andrew too. “I do think,” she told her sister, “that with all I have to do, he didn’t ought to have taken in that boy. I’ve no notion how long he’ll be staying either. World of his own, that man!”... As always when she was annoyed, she made cauliflower cheese. “I’ll eat it,” Aidan said, when Andrew was about to throw it away. Andrew paused, with the dish above the waste-pail. “Not pizza?” he asked, in some surprise. “I can eat that too,” Aidan said. Andrew, as he put the offending cauliflower back in the oven, had a sudden almost overwhelming memory of how much he had needed to eat when he was Aidan’s age. This brought with it a flood of much vaguer memories, of things old Jocelyn had said and done, and of how much he had learned from the old man.MoreLessRead More Read Less
