A Gathering Storm (September 7)

“If the weather cleared, the barometer would rise. In that case, the fishing would pick up …”

“But half an hour without strikes confirmed what the gradually darkening skies suggested. The air pressure was dropping. Soon, the rain would return. And worse, there would be few if any fish. Already, no other anglers were in sight. The first droplets dimpled the water here and there. Then their pace

“You know, we were in love and caught up in the eddies of a marvellous city. Actually, we felt invisible. We believed no evil could befall us. All the same, it did.”
R. C. Highcroft, Providence Point

“That childhood adventure would not soon slip away. It quickened an understanding that he and I shared whenever we were side by side, either on the water or at the fireplace. Not exactly a secret, it was simply an experience that had little meaning for most others. Yet, for us it was invaluable. Recalling it made the more trying moments of life in the city much easier to endure.”
R. C. Highcroft, Providence Point

“One opponent’s ostensible generosity might a few moves later guarantee the other’s downfall. Thus, collaboration tended to come at a price. The analogy to real life was impossible to miss. But Granny was not given to moralizing. Ostensibly, we played only for amusement. We never mentioned parallels with the ins and outs of family affairs”
