“Peter smiled as Concheetah sashayed across the ballroom floor
Concheetah sashayed towards him, wriggling her hips, full lips in a pout, followed obediently by the tentative, Tapping Ted dressed in tight shorts and singlet. Tapping? Tapping because he always wore conspicuous, tap-dancing shoes in the club.
Was Ted going to rip up the stage as a mincing Irish dancer or maybe perform a Gene Kelly routine or the Swan Lake ballet in taps? It was terrible to imagine. Peter bit his lip at that thought, hoping he wouldn’t burst into howls of laughter.
He had noted after coming to several shows, that Ted usually stood at the side of the stage ready with a drink of champagne and an encouraging word and a dry towel to mop Her Highness’s face. And he always cried during the
show’s finale, Abba’s Dancing Queen. Poor Tapping Ted.”

“Her eyes are all over me; she’s reading me like a book.
‘Everything going all right, Jack?’ she asks as she touches my knee.

“I can’t tell her that I’d give anything not to remember what I’ve seen. Anything.
During the day, I’m too busy to think about the war but at night, I’m back in the trenches. And there’s more than that besides: the things I’ve seen since then.
In my job, you try hard not to gather memories, but they stay in your head anyway.
At night, when the rest of the world is still, in my soul there’s turmoil.”
