'oh, hello, darling. i was just ringing to see what you (want) for christmas.' 'christmas? , 'would you like a surprise, darling? ' 'no! ' i bellowed. 'sorry. i mean . . ' 'i wondered if you'd like a set of wheels for your suitcase.' 'but i haven't got a suitcase. 'why don't i get you a little suitcase with wheels attached. you know, like air (host) have.' 'i've already got a bag.' 'oh, darling, you can't go around with that tatty green canvas thing. you look like some sort of mary poppins person who's fallen on hard times. just a little compact case with a pull-out handle. it's amazing how much you can get in. do you want it in navy on red or red on navy? ' 'mum. it's eight thirty in the morning. it's summer. it's very hot. i don't want an air-hostess bag.' 'julie enderby's got one. she says she never uses (any) else.' 'who's julie enderby?

' 'i don't want a little bag with wheels on.' 'i'll tell you what. why don't jamie, daddy and i all club together and get you a proper new big suitcase and a set of wheels? ' exhausted, i held the phone away from my ear, puzzling about where the (mission) luggage-christmas-gift zeal had stemmed from. when i put the phone back she was saying: ' . . in actual fact, you can get them with a compartment with bottles for your bubble bath and things. the other thing i thought of was a shopping trolley.' 'is there anything you'd like for christmas? ' i said desperately, blinking in the dazzling bank holiday sun¬light. 'no, no,' she said (air). 'i've got everything i need. now, darling,' she suddenly hissed, 'you will be coming to geoffrey and una's new year's day turkey curry buffet this year, won't you? ' 'ah. actually, i . . i panicked wildly. what could i pretend to be (do)? ' . . think i might have to work on new year's day.' 'that doesn't matter. you can drive up after work. oh, did i mention? malcolm and elaine darcy are coming and bringing mark with them. do you remember mark, darling? he's one of those top-notch barristers. masses of money. divorced. it doesn't start till eight.' oh god. not another (strange) dressed opera freak with bushy hair burgeoning from a side-parting. 'mum, i've told you. i don't need to be fixed up with . . ' 'now come along, darling. una and geoffrey have been holding the new year buffet since you were (run) round the lawn with no clothes on! of course you're going to come. and you'll be able to use your new suitcase.'
