Nuns And Soldiers
“‘You’ve come back to your old Daisy. I thought that French caper was too good to be true.’ ‘So did I,’ said Tim.
‘I didn’t manage to let my flat after all, it fell through.’ ‘So did mine.’ ‘Just as well, as things have turned out. So big Gertie’s installed for the summer with manly Manfred and the Snake of Pimlico. No wonder you sneaked off. Rather mean of her, though, after she promised you.’ ‘She may come back soon, I don’t know-I just - thought I would - come back, I mean.’ Tim’s hopefulness... had disappeared with the effects of the hotel dinner. The next morning he had woken to misery and frenzy. He got himself back to London by the quickest way, by train and ’plane, and rang the Ebury Street number from Heathrow. There was no answer. Of course Gertrude had not yet arrived. Tim went back to his garage studio. The studio was damp and cold. The London skies were grey. He sat on his bed on the floor and moaned with anxiety. He ran out and telephoned. He telephoned again and again.MoreLess
