In the middle of the morning, a knock on the door. It was Mrs Vallance, whose house was opposite the Mooneys’.
‘I was just passing,’ she said, this fact belied by the slippers on her feet. ‘I thought I’d see how your father was doing. He was very odd with the police, I heard. What did you do to your face?’
‘I’m all right.’
‘I had a very polite officer interview me,’ the woman said. ‘He asked me …’ she lowered her voice, ‘… if your father was unbalanced.’
Cal bit back a retort.
‘They wanted to talk to you too, of course,’ she said.
‘Well I’m here now,’ said Cal. ‘If they need me.’
‘My boy Raymond said he saw you on the railway. Running off, he said.’
‘Goodbye, Mrs Vallance.’
‘And he’s got good eyes has Raymond.’
‘I said goodbye,’ said Cal, and slammed the door in the woman’s self-satisfied face.
