Book and film:
I’m worried for my new neighbour. He’s a very well spoken man, quite an asset to the neighbourhood - or he would be, if we saw more of him.
He does go out from time to time, mostly in the evening on his motorbike, though I think he drives a car, too. Usually brings back some parcel or other and disappears inside.
Anyway, it’s tonight I’m worrying about. I spent a while in the garden, chatting to my neighbour over the milk bottles. Usually one of our other neighbours comes and joins us, but he, his wife and kid all went away suddenly this morning.
I’m sure I’ve seen shapes moving in their house, though. And I saw dark shapes creeping up my well-spoken neighbour’s back garden just now!
Should I warn him, do you think? You can’t be too careful with all these CND protesters around.
