Love Over Scotland
“Bad Behaviour When they heard the noise coming from behind Tessie’s closed door, Pat and Matthew, on the point of leaving the flat, stopped. Lowering the two heavy suitcases to the floor, Matthew looked at Pat in astonishment.
“What on earth…?” he began to whisper, but Pat, still holding Sir Ernst Gombrich’s The Story of Art under her arm, did not reply. Creeping forward, she inclined an ear to the door. Matthew, embarrassed by such obvious eavesdropping, but curious nonetheless, quickly moved ...forward to join her at the door.
The howls which they had heard–if they were indeed howls, and it sounded like that to them–had now stopped, to be replaced by a peal of laughter. Then there was a voice, not raised at all, but still audible from outside.
“I wish you wouldn’t howl quite so much.” It was Tessie.
“Why not? If it makes me happy.” There was a pause, and then: “And I know what makes you happy.” That was Wolf.
Matthew glanced at Pat. There was something indecent in standing outside somebody’s bedroom door and listening to what went on within.MoreLess
