I was fatter than any of them; which wasn't saying much. Midge cleared the things away afterwards and Nancy covered the kitchen table with maps and charts. " She bent over the table, the long dark hair swinging down over her neck. Don't get involved, I said to myselfi Just don't. "Next week, to Haydock.
