Quote from this book "'Good evening, Mrs Grainger,' said Allen. 'Can we have two large stouts, please? This is a friend of ours. What would you like to drink, Philip?' Philip asked for a gin and ginger. A small gin. Mrs Grainger, touching her waved fringe with the tips of her fingers, asked if he was staying long. 'A fortnight? That's nice. You'll get a lot of good from the air here. It's done your friends good. They're looking a lot better than they did.'" opening paragraphs "An Evening at the Bay", p 226 Secondhand booksellers |
