  ‘Nothing much,’ said Brian. ‘Now, Father, I’ve been meaning to have a word with you about John Fletcher’s emphysema. It’s not responding as it should and I’d like your opinion …’

  The two doctors were soon in an animated discussion which went on until Helen, Brian’s wife, came back from driving the children to school and reminded him it was time for surgery.

  ‘You’re coming tonight for dinner, don’t forget,’ said Brian as he rose from the table. Absently he picked up the paper and folded it and tucked it under his arm as he went out. Best not to upset the old man with a news item which might only bring back unhappy memories.
