Dandy Gilver And A Deadly Measure Of Brimstone (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I felt, once out, dried and dressed again, as though I could have lifted off from the stones of the terrace and floated over the valley floor on waves of … who knows what exactly. My woollen underthings felt like the softest silk against my skin; my lisle stockings too, and from the inside my face felt dewy and rosy and beautiful. I could have stretched backwards to grab my own heels and turned myself into a hoop, so limber did I fancy myself after my sojourn in the baths. It was spoiled rather when Hugh caught sight of me. ‘Good God, Dandy,’ he said. ‘What’s happened to you?’ ‘Mother, really,’ said Donald, opening a sleepy eye. ‘Never mind, Mummy,’ said Teddy. Then he ruined it: ‘No one knows us here.’ True enough, there had been no looking glasses in that little changing cubicle and when I put my hand up to my hair what I felt there was far from usual, but the wonders of the steam bath were more than skin deep and my serenity, though dented, was not cracked and sprang back as I smiled down at them.
