The book of Fame
“At Oxford, a tiny warden in an enormous black hat walked ahead with a lantern and led us through courtyards with grass so beautifully tended that we wanted to roll around in it like happy dogs. ‘So,’ said Jimmy Duncan, like this was what he’d been looking for all this time and might even have passed through these gates years earlier had he known about it. In some of us that possibility expanded and contracted.
Cunningham who knew a bit about masonry ran his finger over the stonework.
Hunter who... had planted a garden on the family farm got down on his haunches to dig his fingers and test the quality of the mulch.
Tyler who knew all about line from his boat-building knelt to draw the bead of the lawn.
Mister Dixon horrified us all by walking across the lawn to sniff a rambling rose.
Jimmy Duncan banged out the contents of his pipe on the path then seeing our woebegone faces gathered up the blackened ash and tobacco remains and stuck his hand in his pocket.
Billy Stead gazed with longing at grass greener than Southland.MoreLess
