Wild Lily (2016)
“He seemed to be fascinated by the thought of flying high and jumping out to float serenely down to earth.
‘It must be a terrific feeling. I would love to do it. I’ve asked around at Brooklands if someone would take me up so that I can try it, but no one would. They all say these chutes work so well it’s as safe as houses, but they won’t let me try. I think they’re scared of my father. I tell them he need never know, but they won’t.’ He had never taken Lily up again, much to her disappointme...nt. Simon and John were forbidden, but Cedric enjoyed it and went up a few times. Lily knew though that Antony found Cedric boring with his obsession of spying on all the neighbouring farms. If he had taught her to fly too she could take him up and he could jump out with his parachute. She pointed this out to him, but he laughed her to scorn.
‘Teach you to fly! You’re mad, Lily! That’s why I like you so. But, for a treat, I could take you up and you could jump out with the parachute – how would you like that?’ Lily tried not to show how the idea frightened her.MoreLess
