And isn’t it pointless being admired at close range
By now, even Feely could see that we had had enough. “Enough of this maudlin trash!” she announced, striding across the room and flipping off the switch. The picture on the television tube retracted to a tiny point of light – and vanished.
“Throw open the curtains, Daffy,” she ordered, and Daffy sprang to her command. “This “This is so tiresome – all of it. Let’s have some light for a change.”
What she really wanted, of course, was to have a better squint at Dieter. Too vain to wear her spectacles, Feely had probably seen no more of Rupert’s funeral than a dishwater blur. And isn’t it pointless being admired at close range by an anxious swain if one is unable to see said swain’s rapture?
