Our courtship was a brief and happy one. Teddy and I got to know one another extremely
well over endless cups of tea. Teddy—still
in hospital, and still wearing a full head and body plaster cast— was a man of few words, but a
wonderful listener as I told him all about myself and my mother and my hometown
of Wattlebird. I once asked Teddy to
tell me a little about himself. He lifted an arm and pointed at the window
where the only view was of the sky, which on this particular day was of an
unbroken blue.
Oh, these anecdotes are an absolute treat! Thanks, Marlish! x
