An Audience With An Elephant (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
I looked around me and on every table there were scattered stalks and leaves — so whatever had been there had clearly been gathered up in a rush. Fred Huggins was behind the bar, staring into space. On 31 August 1997 Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash, and a week later was buried at Althorp, her family home in Northamptonshire. At some point between these two dates Di Huggins of Abthorp, also in Northamptonshire, fell into a rabbit hole and broke her ankle. Mrs Huggins, the wife of Fred Huggins, licensee of the New Inn, had been out looking for a lost cat in the dark. It was two days later, just after 12.00 noon, a quiet time with the pub not long open, and Mr Huggins was doing the Telegraph crossword. He looked up when the door opened to see a man standing there. ‘I’ve got some flowers for Di in the van,’ said the man. ‘That’s very nice,’ said Fred. ‘Where do I take them?’ ‘You can bring them in here, put them on that table.’ Mr Huggins returned to his crossword.
