What girl?‘
Pretty, earnest, Northern. Got drunk and shouted at your father about the Sandinistas.‘
That was Emma Morley.‘
Emma Morley. I liked her. Your father liked her too, even if she did call him a bourgeois
fascist 1.‘ Dexter winced 2 at the memory. "I don‘t mind, at least she had a bit of fire, a bit of
passion. Not like those silly sex-pots we usually find at the breakfast table. Yes Mrs Mayhew,
no Mrs Mayhew. I can hear you, you know, tip-toeing to the guest room in the night . . .‘
You really are drunk, aren‘t you?‘
So what about this Emma?‘
Emma‘s just a friend.‘
Is she now? Well I‘m not so sure. In fact I think she likes you.‘
Everyone likes me. It‘s my curse.‘
In his head it had sounded fine: raffish 3 and self-mocking, but now they sat in silence and
he felt foolish once again, like at those parties where his mother would allow him to sit with
the grown-ups and he would show-off and let her down. She smiled at him indulgently, and
squeezed his hand as it rested on the table.
Be nice, won‘t you?‘
I am nice, I‘m always nice.‘
But not too nice. I mean don‘t make a religion out of it, niceness.‘
I won‘t.‘ Uncomfortable now, he began to glance around the Piazza 4.
