Cummings called, looking very washed out, and said he’d been very ill again, and (of course) not a single friend had been in touch. Carrie said she hadn’t heard anything from him, but he threw down a copy of the local paper which had a report on page nine about how a Mr Cummings had had a serious accident in Rye Lane when a youth had stuck a stick between his spokes, causing him to crash heavily. The report was headed Asbo Brute Causes Crash, with the sub-heading “Cyclist says it was “frightening, not fatal””.We all said we were very very sorry, and pressed Cummings to stay for supper. He said that with Lupin gone, it was just like old times, and all the better for it.

Why shouldn’t
I publish
my diary?
I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
