Description
The house was sold. The sign that said so was up in the road. Tomorrow the van would come and take what was left of the furniture to the small cottage off the road to Brawley. The mirrors would be taken down and wrapped in sacking. Their books, the pans in which she cooked their meals, the crockery off which they had eaten, were already packed in boxes. For an extra fifty pounds the moving men had see to that. All that remained for them to do was to move the bees. It was he who had wanted to sell the house. He wanted to be free of it. He wanted the money so that they could travel. He wanted the men in the office to say," Do you know what Lumsden's house fetched? Do you know what he paid for it?' She hated talk like that, as if life could be set out on a balance sheet; as if the sum for which they sold the house passed judgment on their thirty years of living there.
