She had to put up with ten minutes\nof the old woman telling her how her man had fought for the Ulster Volunteers\nwith the Specials at the time of the partitionof Ireland and escaped death\nby inches.SheMrs Mullet had heard the story so often that she could have\nretold it backwards.\n\n\"He was a real patriot,\" said Granny, gathering her shawl around k\nher. \"And now you're telling me we've got Micks living in this\nstreet.?\"\n\n\"No, no, Granny, away ye go and get your cat. That wasn't what\nI was saying at all.\"\n\nGranny shuffled off calling for the cat. Mrs Mullet looked up the\nstreet thinking it was time that Tommy and Linda were coming home.\nThe pictures would have finsihed half an hour ago at least.\n\nAfterTommy and Linda came out of the cinema they went towere sitting in a cafe\nand drinking coffee. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Linda had enjoyed the\nfilm, she had had a good cry at one point, but Tommy had been bored.\nHe supposed that i was part of the price you had to pay when you took\na girl out. He liked taking Linda out. She could be very soft and\nsweet, and it was nice to sit in the cimema holding her hand.\n\n\"Here's Steve,\" said Linda.\n\nSteve was Tommy's friend from schooldays. He was rather keen on\nSadie but she said he bored her, he had no imagination. It was seldom\nthat she went out more than twice with any boy.\n\n\"Can I join you?\" said Steve\n\n\"Sure.\" Tommy pulled up a chair.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
