Day 12 Another day, another glorious day; it is what I so like about a Mediterranean summer compared to an English one - the guarantee of sunshine and warmth.

It was with nothing but disgust that Susan regarded the musicians whose subtle and accomplished performance was so enrapturing most of the other guests. Susan was conscious that she was a fraud in so many ways and her presence at the recital a sham. It was the music she should be appreciating rather than the musicians. She should be somehow transported to th...
Last September we were surprised to receive a call from Alan, the CEO of a magazine publishing house for which we have been carrying out some freelance work, this time not to commission some articles but to advise us that he was selling out to a US media and publishing house.

He jerked in his sleep and opened his...

Innocence made the journey to Brook by train, waving goodbye to her sister and Kedi and wearing the clothes she thought best suited her destination. These were a pair of baggy shorts,...
By Maximilian Cummings * "I can resist everything except temptation," Oscar Wilde had Lord Darlington say in 'Lady Windermere's Fan' and Geoff knew what he meant. He really should not have done it but the temptation had been just too much. Geoff Munnings had been delighted to find digs with Mrs Smold for his first year at Uni.. The accommodation had been...
Part 1 - the girls are mown The sun had been sweltering all day and even as the shadows lengthened there seemed no let up in the heat. Danielle had been waiting for what seemed hours for her friend. The sweat dripped down her, running from her neck into her dress and seemingly out again from below the hem. It was not really the same trickle, after all there...

In Which Innocence is displayed on film and is shown together with an old friend. It was Dodie who reminded Innocence of the interview she'd had with Fuck Films Today and her appearance in Forbidden Love. "It seems absolutely ridiculous to me that you should be working for virtually nothing at the Fierzehn, especially as you don't really like music, when yo...
