The Chimney Sweeper's Boy (2012)
“This makes him doubt, but not for long, and he soons reverts to his old faith in the printed word.
—THE CENTRE OF ATTRACTION THREE NEWSPAPERS WERE DELIVERED TO LUNDY VIEW HOUSE every morning. Ursula had kept the paperboy on for Pauline to have something to read at breakfast, but once her niece was gone, she intended to cancel the delivery. It was something to look forward to, not seeing newspapers. She liked to look at the view of the beach while she was eating her grapefruit and her toast.
The... sea was calm this morning and a deep clear blue, not streaked with emerald as it sometimes was, and the sky was a pale, luminous, unclouded blue. The tide was out, was still going out, and where the sand was still wet, a boy of about twelve was building an elaborate sand castle with a keep and turrets and a moat. A man with his two small children was trying to fly a large red-and-white kite, but there wasn’t enough wind to lift it off the beach. He reminded her of Gerald, who had also flown kites, who had built innumerable sand castles.MoreLess
