Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pink Roses In the first place Trevor Mathew went there to avoid his lodgings, which had become detestable to him since Harry Hardman and James Peto, his two Cambridge friends, had been swept into the war. He had been so proud of them, his rooms in Town, and they three had had such jolly times there that when Hardman went off to the Dardanelles and Peto to Flanders, he had promised to keep them until they returned. It was just his luck to have the medical officer discover a systolic murmur in his heart. He had always been out of everything. Perhaps his heart had always played him tricks. Well: Harry was buried at Suvla Bay and Peto was smashed so that he could only lie stiff, with one eye glaring at the ceiling, one eye that never slept, though its eyelid closed over it occasionally as a matter of decency, and Trevor kept the big living-room in the dingy street in Paddington because he could not bear to move his friends´ belongings. Neither could he invite others to take their places, for he felt that they might after all come back when the war had proved to be only an evil dream. Sometimes he felt so sure that Hardman would come back that he could not bear it, and rushed out to avoid hearing his knock.
