'You've not had much luck with the book, I hear.' That had to be the understatement of the year. My novel had been rejected four times far. I've no doubt that behind my the family were having a good snigger. Rhona of course had been the loyal exception, though I admit that her piteous expressions when the thing limped home battered by franking stamps were harder to than her sister's outright sarcasm: 'Has your boomerang got back yet, Patton?' she'd enquire, while her husband Jack would give the knife an extra twist by asking if I'd managed to sell any of my daubs.
