'If she shopped you, you mean?'
He nodded. 'But... sod it... to cut a foot off a horse...' Perhaps the better nature was somewhere there after all. Stealing cars was OK, maiming racehorses wasn't. He wouldn't have blinded those ponies: he wasn't that sort of lout. 'If I fix it with your aunt, will you tell me?' I asked. 'Make her promise not to tell Archie. He's worse.'

I made no promises. I said, 'Just spill the beans.'
'In three weeks I'll be sixteen.' He looked at me intently for reaction, but all he'd caused in me was puzzlement. I thought the cut-off age for crime to be considered 'juvenile' was two years older. He wouldn't be sent to an adult jail.

'Your Aunt Betty?' I felt lost.
'No, stupid. The woman in the village.'
'Oh... ah.'
'Her old man's a long-distance truck driver. He's away for nights on end. He'd kill me. Youth custody would be apple pie,'
'Difficult,' I said.
'She wants it, see? I'd never done it before. I bought her a gin in the pub.' Which, at fifteen, was definitely illegal to start with.
'So... um...,' I said, 'last night you were coming back from the village... When, exactly?'
'It was dark. Just before dawn. There had been more moon light earlier, but I'd left it late. I was running. She-Aunt Betty-she wakes with the cocks. She lets the dogs out before six.'
His agitation, I thought, was producing what sounded like truth. I thought, and asked, 'Did you see any ramblers?'
'No. It was earlier than them.'

All these stories, what did they add up to?
A life?”

If she had a lot of lovers, she argues herself into believing that she did wrong and she's sorry now. She carries on that way because she knows that soon all her woman-ness will be lost...lost. And if she makes believe being with a man was never any good in the first place, she can get comfort out of her change.”

She just had to keep going-until she had a better hand.”

“If she replaces her eyebrows with a Machiavellian triangle, paints her fingernails blue, and dyes her hair some color you'd see in a comic book it's not too attractive to me-because it's too familiar. Extremes aren't necessary. Even 'high fashion' frightens most men. When I have to wait in the dentist's office, I sometimes look at fashion magazines. To me, most of the models look like they have rickets or scoliosis of the spine. They look less like woman than caricatures.”
