Amy watched six taxis go past her. […] She knew she had to be home on time so she
decided to take the tube home. She was already so late and angry that the journey on
a crowded train couldn’t make it much worse.
Tonight, Ed’s sister from America, Bella, and her husband, were coming to dinner.
Amy would meet Bella for the first time. Ed respected Bella so much that he had written to
her for permission to marry Amy. At the time Amy thought it was funny; but three years later,
she found it rather irritating. Ed wrote to his sister regularly. Once, filled with anger, Amy had
opened one of his letters before posting it. It was a childish report on how their life was:
information about the floor tiles they were planning to get for the kitchen, comments about
the new dresses that Amy had bought, detailed descriptions of picnics or parties they had
gone to. Amy felt strange. It was the kind of letter that a mother might get from a small son
who had gone off to summer camp, not something that a sister in faraway America should
need or want from her adult brother.
Bella and her husband’s visit to London was a short stop on their three-week tour of Europe
which had just begun. They had arrived in the morning, but they did not want to be met
at the airport. They preferred to rest after the long flight in a good hotel with a comfortable
bedroom and bathroom. Fully refreshed, at seven p.m., they were going to come and see
Ed and Amy.
As a rule, on any Thursday, Amy came home from the office where she worked as
a receptionist, took off her shoes, unpacked her shopping, got a meal ready, and then Ed
arrived home. They normally had dinner and then enjoyed sitting by the fireplace watching
TV, chatting about holiday plans for a journey together. But that was all before Bella’s
stressful visit had been announced. For three months now, Ed hadn’t been able to relax.
He couldn’t even concentrate on his work and kept talking about little problems in their
house. “Amy, can you fix that curtain rail, please?” A few times, Amy had tried to explain that
Bella was not coming on a mission of inspection, but Ed had just got more worried and said
that he wanted everything to be right. Everything was so right that Amy couldn’t stand it any
more.
