“Mum died today.” Now, I knew this woman (the dead one) and, for all of her idiosyncrasies, she wasn’t really the dying kind. “What? How?”. “Dunno yet, but she’s been shipped off to the coroner so I guess we’ll find out.”
There are people to call. She tries holding back tears, although the odd one slips out. She calls her brother. It is the first day of duck shooting and he has his phone off. So, the call goes out - “I need him.” “Mum died”. He was on the phone ten minutes later. “What happened? Are you sure she’s dead?” to which Penny replies “Well, I’ve been here for twenty minutes and she hasn’t offered me a drink yet.” This elicits a laugh. Warmth. They both feel stronger. For now...
