George knew all about rooms. He had read about rooms where people started to rot inside and stare at each other across furniture where dust sat waiting, denying them light. His Aunt had told him about Dickens. Lots of rooms there were in Dickens, she would tell him, where hatred slept with one eye open. [...]

George wanted some one to answer his question about love and Demeter, but his Aunt was dead and no one else knew his soul. So he leant against the kitchen door post, and pretended to be Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities, because he was a hero and neither the French Revolution nor the guillotine [...]
