At the corner he\nturned to wave, then was gone. Sadie moved over on to the front seat\nbeside Mr Blake.\n\n\"I'm hope he'll be all right,\" she said.\n\n\"Don't worry. He'll make it. He' looks a tough one.\"\n\nMr Blake drove Sadie home. They parsed several armoured cars\nheading in the opposite direction.\n\n\"These are bad times, Sadie,\" sighed Mr Blake. \"Especially for\na Catholic Protestant girl to bex keeping company with a Catholic\nboy.\"\n\n\"I know,\" she said soberly. \"Do you think I'm mad, Mr Blake?\"\n\n\"Yes,\" he said. \"And I should probably give you good advice and tell you to give it up.But I like you for it. You can't always walk with the crowd. Especially if you don't like the way they're walking. It takes a bit of courage.\nYou were never lacking in that.\"\n\nSadie felt herself blush again. She was not one who blushed easily but that was twice Mr Blake had made\nher blush in a few hours. He was a very open and honest man, she remembered that\nfor from schooldays. He always said what it was in his mind to say.\n\nHe stopped outside her dasrwhouse. She opened the car door.\n\n\"Good night, Mr Blake. And thanks for everything. I think you're\njust marvelloussuper!\"\n\nHis blue eyes twinkled. \"A few years aback you were probably\nsaying quite the opposite, eh?\"\n\n\"I'm changing in ny old age. See you. Thanks again.\"\n\nShe stood on the pavement, waving until he was out of sight.\nShe was still shaking her head with admiration when Tommy came out\nof the front door.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
