Observatory Mansions
“But it is only human nature that once one person has started to reminisce, another will immediately feel an irresistible urge to do the same. And so it was that Claire Higg remembered her wooing days, years of them there were, when she set her heart on a man named Alec Magnitt. Not a beautiful man. He grew no moustache, he had no magic smile. But he was loved by Claire Higg. He lived in flat nineteen and she would follow him on his way back from work. Magnitt was an accountant, she remembered, ...he was never without a calculator. She remembered all this while sitting with Anna Tap, Twenty and Peter Bugg.Higg was wearing black. She had walked around her room looking at all the photographs of the deceased moustache man while Twenty was busy remembering, and as she looked around her room she noticed a square of magnolia wall less dirty than the rest.
