At LAST … !
I have a Sunday off!
He says, grabbing some tea …
I work shifts: just in case you did know.
And, as the sales rise and fall over the year, where I work, the hours go up and down.
I can deal with that: I get enough financial help to be able to cope.
But it IS nice to have a Sunday off: it means I can have dinner with my family: including my nephew, Jude, who I haven’t seen for a few weeks.
Frankly … ? I’m looking forward to that …

‡ It’s set in a version of the modern world where Seerkind — Barker’s equivalent to the fairies — exist: and are persecuted by normal humanity. The carpet — or Fugue — is a hiding place they’ve developed to got out of the way of the book’s villains: a monstrous angel, a human policeman … and a Seerkind who’s been the rejected by her own people.
