London Transports (2007)
“Up to now all the disasters in her life had been reasonably contained among her ever-dwindling circle of friends. But if she were in reach of a microphone she might easily broadcast them to the nation. They might even become national incidents. Because Frankie was rarely out of trouble. I think it was only because I was such a boss that I was a friend of hers at all. I liked the self-importance of rescuing her. I liked her undying gratitude and useless promises to be more careful the next time....Clive didn’t like Frankie, which was unusual because Clive liked almost everyone. He said she was brainless. Yet she had a far better degree than any of us. He said she liked getting into trouble, but he hadn’t seen the tears pouring down her face as she sat in the police station wrongly accused of starting a fight in a restaurant and causing a breach of the peace. Frankie hadn’t started the fight, she had tried to stop somebody else’s. Clive said she was vain. That couldn’t be right either.MoreLess
