Silhouette (2014)
“Oswald consulted a pocket watch and apologised that he would have to be leaving.
‘Thank you for allowing me to share your table,’ he said as he stood up.
‘No problem,’ Clara told him. ‘Thanks for the company.’ She watched Oswald as he navigated his way towards the exit, smiling politely as he passed people and standing aside to allow others to get past. He really was very pleasant company, she thought.
Oswald had almost reached the way out when he stopped. Another man had just come in, and was ...approaching Oswald rapidly. They evidently knew each other, and after exchanging a few words, Oswald turned and nodded towards Clara. Perhaps the man was his employer – he looked like a ‘gentleman of means’. She hoped she hadn’t got Oswald into trouble by distracting him for too long.
The two of them – Oswald, together with the other man – were heading back through the tent towards Clara. As he approached, she could make out details of the man’s appearance. He was perhaps 40, with receding dark hair and a short beard.MoreLess
