Brother beckons and Smiley ponders motive Have to and see my kid brother this week I nan to Nobody Us right mind has to have anything to do with his Prom birth to death they are a pain in the arm When a baby is bom all the browi go up at the choice of name unless it happens to be one of theirs or that of a rich uncle Asked my the other day what Ibelr second name was who some times know bis rump from his elbow promptly retorted William His second name was the same as mine in case Id be pleased and leave him some thing Asked the other boy who knows every thing from why Grans crying to why Grandad is in a tearing rage He muttered Chen Id forgotten His parents named him that ask me why because they were on an international kick and Chen means firstborn Poor little devil Hia full name is Imagine what the CIA will do with that when they take over Canadian intelligence Notice 1 spelled the last word without a capital Neil time the relatives act like Utile Jack Horner is when your kids get married Despite the fact that the couple has been living together for nine months your blasted relatives want a church wedding with the bride in white a big reception where everybody pretends that the are virgin there are some adolescent speeches right out of the age of Victoria and somebody cuts a cake that nobody would eat with a pole Tills costs roughly five to thousand so that he couple con go on living sin but with a paper to prove that theyre not And the third occasion on which the rela tives get their arms into it right up to the elbows is when somebody dies This is when the real Christians emerge Well thats what youthink the day she died and she distinctly stated arm twisted behind her back that I could have not only the tea service but all the linen And so on Ive seen all this but not experienced it After my mothers death my elder sister was mutually appointed arbitrator And she arbitrated Two sheets for you two for you Two blankets for you two for you Two linen tablecloths for you two for you Two beds for you a diningroom table for you Everyday china for you plus the silver coffee pot Good china for you plus the chamberpot And so on It was like being at an auction without any bids and we all went away rather dazed enriched beyond our dreams and with only a few grudges We were all so young and unsophisticated that we let an aunt have a beautiful chaise lounge which wound up as a period piece in of all places Australia My aunt want it my kid brother but still think that be thinks he got screwed he was In Paris at the time on the family snlltup and covets the handcarved stool my Dad made which I traded off for an upright piano of dubious vintage Maybe not Maybe be Just wants to see me Maybe he wants to apologise for all the times he trailed me all over town when I was seven and be was five I would first hiss at him then shout him to go home Hed bang on a block behind crying like a fire siren stubborn as a bound following a fox Hes challenged me to a game of golf This Is quite understandable fits the pattern I could always beat him st every thing and he wants the masochistic satis faction of being trounced once more be fore he retires to that wonderland of golf where everybody rides an electric cart to the next hole and everybody discusses every shot at the 19th hole On the other hand maybe he wants to talk about all that money 1 borrowed from him when he had a paper route and I was a well a sort of freelancer This hasnt much to do with going to see Every Saturday night I used to lock him in the bathroom and freelance about two- thirds of bis weekly take so I could go to Ssw him in Germany a few years ago He figures 1 owe him a thousand and some dollars with compound interest Perhaps be just wants to remind me of all the girls he has taken away from me over the years He never took anyone of any real consequence but he took some very fine prospectives On the fourth hands maybe he Just wants to rub it in to me that Im a failure He retired as a Colonel with a of medals quit as a FlightLoot with tour or five medals in the basement He has been at the beck and call of generals ambassadors and such He is divorced fashionable I am married- unfashionable He is charming multi lingual has tasted the of Europe I am a typical suburban slob Or maybe the poor little fella just wants to see the brother he used to with every Saturday morning holiday GEORGETOWN 8775266 ACTON 2010 You may now charge your classified advertisement to your Chargex Account Ask for details Check Your Ada For Accuracy On Tna The
