The Importance of Being Seven
“Trust and Revelation That Saturday morning, Angus Lordie called on Domenica Macdonald. It was not unusual for him to visit his friend in Scotland Street on a Saturday, although Domenica had made a point of warning him that he could not always expect to find her in. ‘I can’t sit here waiting for you, Angus,’ she said. ‘It would be just too pathetic a spectacle. I am not one of those spinsters who waits in her flat for a man to call. Be warned.’ ‘Of course not,’ said Angus hurriedly. ‘I know jus...t how busy your Saturdays are.

Or did she go to see somebody, some old trout (as he referred to her) who lived down in Stockbridge and was something to do with the Labour Party? Angus had a habit – a most annoying one, Domenica thought – of calling any woman over forty an old trout. He had not dared do with this Big Lou, of course, who was thirty-eight, or thereabout – nobody quite knew, and it was well known that people from Arbroath often looked younger than they really were.MoreLess
