The Busconductor Hines (2011)
“In a sort of alcove to the far side Reilly was sitting with McCulloch and Colin, and two other men; at a table adjacent to theirs sat Isobel with McCulloch’s wife and Colin’s fiancée, and two other women. Sandra noticed and he whispered, Sorry . . . she didnt reply. I’ll try and get it sorted out, he muttered. He watched her go to the empty seat at the women’s table and then sat down on the one the men had kept for him. The other two men were introduced as Stewart and Donnie; both were drivers,... operating out of a garage on the south side of the city.
McCulloch was in charge of the kitty; when the waitress eventually appeared Hines passed him the £5 and called to Sandra: Brandy and champagne Mrs Hines?
She smiled. The other women were involved in conversation.
Naw, he said to the waitress, a martini and lemonade – dry. And a pint of heavy. The others had just ordered a round. Hines winked at Sandra then he brought out the tin.
Eh Rab? McCulloch was attracting his attention, the other four glancing at him.MoreLess
