The Chalice
“Not Diane. Diane had to start on page one.
Juanita watched brown, wavy hair flop over the girl's face as her head bowed over the unappealing book.
Actually, it was quite gripping, the introduction, in its recounting of how Pixhill had first been turned towards Glastonbury, a place he'd hardly heard of.
And even in the introduction Diane would discover one or two parallels, as a young army officer lay in a wrecked tank in the Western Desert in May, 1942 ...
A full moon, or... very near.
I expect I was staring up at the damn thing when it happened, head and shoulders out of the hatch, like a ginger cat I once saw peering out of a dustbin.
Don't actually remember any of what happened immediately before and certainly nothing of the actual impact which, being a direct hit into the body of the Grant, must have been like having your legs shot from under you.
My driver and co-driver, down below there, wouldn't have heard the bang either.MoreLess
