Olivia Manning † 23. Juli 1980
Though impatient to gather this new world to him, Guy had to agree he, too, was tired. The fact bewildered him but on reflection, he said:
“I didn’t go to bed last night. That may have something to do with it.”
“How did you spend the night?”
“David and I sat up playing chess. I wanted to sleep at the flat but David said it’dbe a damntool thing to do, so we went to his room.”
