Quote from this book "Bernard adjusted quickly and well, so well in fact that he began to think it said something rather odd about him. Or perhaps it was something to be proud of. After he had met Neil a couple of times, he told friends that he was willing to act as a support group for this sweet-seeming stranger, this so young stranger, so far from home. He also said that if you were going to offer support , it might as well be to someone you fancied. Then he started to cut down on the self-mocking pronouncements altogether, partly because he was seeing less of his friends and more of Neil." opening paragraph, Adam Mars-Jones' "A Small Spade" Secondhand booksellers |
