He looked almost his old self except forstill had the bandage around his head and thea slight limp but apart from that was almost back to himself. "You look a new man," said Sadie,taking his hands in hers. "I’ve been resting." He grinned. "Every time I moved two yards my mother yelled at me." What have you been doing?" "Not resting. Wait till you hear!" Nr Blake took Jack out for a long walk before supper. Sadie and Kevin sat on the sfettee and she gave him an account of her week. "Sounds like you know half the neighbourhood by now# " he said. "I like to pass the time of day when I go in and out of the shops. "In other words, you’re a blether!" They laughed together. She rested her head against his shoulder. She felt happy. "Maybe it’s as well I nearly collapsed along by the Lagan," said Kevin. "Though at the time I didn't think so!" "Mr Blake/is the best thing that ever happened to us." "We must be careful that no one gets to know about Mr Blakehim and us." Sadie nodded. "You're right there. I wouldn’t like antything to happen to Mr Blake" Text Tuesday, September 6, 2016 - 10:51
