Conversation: Chapter one. (2)
'It would be rather marvelous.’ I went on abstractedly gazing at a small patch of sunlight on the wall above his left shoulder, dimly aware that my eyes were shining but that I couldn’t help it. ‘And just what I need right now. Nearly two months of peace and quiet to finish this wretched book, and by the sea, too. And without . . . well . . .’
'Shopping to do and beds to make and the telephone ringing constantly and your bloody sister popping round every five minutes, yes, yes, I agree. We’ve been through this a million times, Annie, take the house in Cornwall and finish the wretched book and get it over and done with.’ He grinned and propped up his newspaper again. Gave it a vigorous shake. 'Go on, bog off.’
'And we'll get married the moment I get back.’ I said, putting my mug down decisively.
’And we’ll get married the moment you get back.’ He repeated from the depths of the broadsheet.
’In the church at the bottom of Cadogan Street? You know, the one we were going to look at? Bully the vicar into letting us use it even though we don't live round there? Offer him, I don't know, money for the church roof or something?
He ground his teeth, just perceptibly. ’In the church at the bottom of Cadogan Street, corruptible vicar permitting, yes.’

‘Look,' he interrupted, shaking his paper again irritably. ’We’ve been
through this a hundred times, Annie. We've been through the unsatisfactory nature of your charmless wedding to your faithless first husband, and the not unreasonable demands of my future mother-in-law for church nuptials the second time around, and I've said yes. Please don't make me tread on hot coals again.’ He implored plaintively.
'And Flora would love it too.’ I mused, picking up my plate and drifting absently to the sink, stacking it high on top of an already tottering pagoda of dirty dishes. ‘The wedding, I mean. Being a bridesmaid, all that sort of thing.’
