Example text

Paul had telephoned once or twice but that was all. Mitchell resolved to call each of them when he was back home. Surely it was possible to turn over a new leaf any time of year, not just on the first day of January. The two men looked around the room. They didn’t speak. Mitchell heard the music coming down from the flat above them — it sounded like something that might radiate from a factory. He noticed the lamp that stood on the small table between them. Holding up the light shade was a statue of Jesus, painted in faded but still garish colours.

He said he was prepared to make the trip to Perth; he wasn’t too old to put himself on a plane. He paused. There was nothing else he wanted to write. Is that it? he asked himself silently while pouring the tea. I think it might be. The letter was short and uncluttered, no polite conversational drivel; it had a point, it was a point. A week later came a response — and the words were few: From one correspondent to another, I dare you to come and see me. Would you believe it? Mitchell said almost aloud.

Young Brandon Granville. ‘Hello there,’ said Mitchell, tightening his dressing gown from the cold. The boy appeared taller now and quite possibly thinner. He wore work boots, black jeans, a white T-shirt under a flannelette shirt, and a black duffel coat. ‘I’ve come up for a bit of a visit,’ he said. ‘It’s good to see you! ’ ‘We’ll have a pot of Earl Grey. ’ While preparing the tea, Mitchell listened to his grandson talk of not finding his law degree stimulating — it was ‘a drudge’ apparently.
