The Murdstone Trilogy (2014)
“Children – normally thrilled or querulous past their bedtimes – were silent in their all-terrain buggies. The usually and randomly garrulous inmates of Sunset House stumbled or trundled along quietly. Also there, or represented, were the Friends of Abused Donkeys, the members of the White Knights of St George (who also represented UKIP), the Young Farmers, the codpiece enthusiasts of the Francis Drake Society, the Saint Jude Optimists, the grizzled Young Conservatives, both members of the Watch... Committee, Eric who pretended to work for the Council, the addled punters who hung around the Gelder’s for an hour after closing time and, in the vanguard, the Weird Sisters. Only the Methodists, the Women’s Institute and Leon and Edgar, for reasons of ideology or indifference, boycotted the occasion.

A great many in the train were holding candles; others burned cigarette lighters which flickered off when thumbs were scorched and flickered on again when thumbs had cooled.MoreLess
