Charlie and the dog were just turning in at the garden gate. The house was dark. He hadn’t thought until now about where Neil would spend the night, but he wondered if Amaryllis had given him the other spare bedroom – the little one his sister’s daughter used to inhabit when they all lived with him. Christopher didn’t mind. He didn’t think Neil Macrae would be a particularly difficult house-guest. Charlie was more trouble in many ways. Not to mention the dog, which had woken up full of joys of spring as they got out of the car. ‘You don’t think you should take him round the block, do you?’ he suggested, closing the front door behind them. ‘To settle him down?’ ‘He’ll only get worse,’ said Charlie. The dog had run to the door of the front room and was pawing at it. Surely Amaryllis wasn’t still here, keeping Neil up late discussing football or something? In the dark? Christopher tried to think whether Amaryllis had ever shown any sign of fancying the landlord of the Queen of Scots on any of the many and varied occasions they had been in there over the past couple of years.
