‘Daddy!’
‘But what is his actual name?’

Cambridge. It kind of made sense. Nora had always liked Cambridge, and
it was only thirty miles from Bedford. Ash must have liked it too. And it was
still commutable distance from London, if he still worked there. Briefly, aer
getting her First from Bristol, she had applied to do an MPhil in Philosophy
and had been offered a place at Caius College.
‘What part of Cambridge? Can you remember? What is our street called?’
‘We live on . . . Bol . . . Bolton Road.’
‘Well done! And do you have any brothers or sisters!’
‘No!’

‘Do we ever shout?’
e laugh became cheeky. ‘Sometimes! Especially Mummy!’
