“Hello Jane, it’s Iris here dear. Yes fine thank<br />
you, bearing up. Now look Jane, I’d like to make an<br />
appointment for a friend of mine...Evelyn. Yes my<br />
neighbour. Yes as soon as possible please. Marvellous,<br />
oh yes I can vouch for her. I’m sure she can keep a<br />
secret. Thank you Jane, see you soon.” <strong>The</strong> receiver<br />
was replaced.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re you go, all sorted. We can pop round as<br />

“Secret? You said I can keep a secret.” Evelyn<br />
asked with a furrowed brow.<br />
“As I said dear, Mr Hedges is semi-retired. He<br />
likes to keep his business dealings quiet. We usually<br />
work on a barter system but if you have any money<br />

“No not at all. Thank you, thank you so…”<br />

“Have you taken anything for it?” Mrs Briggs<br />
asked peering into her handbag.<br />
Evelyn nodded; she had in fact tried a wide<br />
and varied range of analgesics and alcohol, all to no<br />
effect.<br />
“Well never mind, soon be over, it’s just round<br />
the corner. I’ll walk you there myself.” Mrs Briggs<br />
stood to go.<br />
“I’m so sorry for being so stupid it’s just…” A<br />
fresh torrent of shame and tears welled up inside her.<br />
“…I’m so scared.”<br />
Mrs Briggs calmly placed a hand on her arm<br />
