In The Time Of Greenbloom (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
In The Time of Greenbloom He had stolen the asparagus after Chapel on Friday evening and sent it via the ‘Skip’ to be boiled for supper five minutes later. He had enjoyed it too, even despite the glances and nudges which ensued throughout the meal at the upper end of the table. Fortunately the label had come off the tin in the process of the boiling in the school kitchen, with the result that on its return it had been, if not unrecognisable, at any rate unidentifiable. He had no idea to whom it belonged, though in his mind he had narrowed down the possible owners to three: Hopper, whose father kept an hotel in Worthing, Liverman who had asthma and used green ink, or Coke who said his prayers and was promising wing three quarter in the 2nd fifteen. John had snatched it from the cloisters in the dark when the rest of the House were fumbling about trying to find the sardines, baked beans, and tuck-shop eggs which they had placed there before Chapel started. It had been a fairly easy theft, scarcely deserving of the pleasure its contents had later given him.
