"i did ."
paige pinched the flesh of one suety thigh and winced " well it's a beginning ."
week later , i packed shorts , -t-SHIRT , sweaters , buckets , spades , favorite cereals , teddt beas , and alphabet spaghetti int the car , load ev , a map , and the boys and and drove out of london .
we were heading for priac bay in cornwall . to be more specific we were going to the cottage where nathan and rose had holidayed every year , i could not say it had been either an easy or a a difficult decision to make , because it had not been a ecision in the formal sense . i had never been to priac : bay - i distrusted the ideas of it . " foe god 's sake ." i had protested ti paige in the past .when nathan had brought up the subject of going there ."it's where nathan took his family ." paige hadbeen suitably shocked ." is athan stupid ? or very , very limited in the imagination department ?" yet , in his absence , it seemed imperative to take the boys and me to a place where nathan had been happy , so i had got on the phone and arranged it .
it was rainning - a light pume - when three hundred or so murderous miles later , the car jolted down the dirt road that led to the cottage , stupefied and bored , felix and lucas were silent in the back .
the world was drenched . the horizon was wiped out by mist , and the sea roared with white crests . the slate tiles on the cottage roof gleamed , there were damp patches sprouting on the gray walls , and the plants in the gardn dripped .
eve drew the sleeves of her jersey father down her wrists " it 's cold , minty ."
