On Sunday afternoons, when the world pauses and waits<br >for the next great event, when the streets are empty and<br >unnaturally still and the weight of obligation hangs over<br >the land, the residents of Wincaster Row come calling on<br >me. They come out of kindness because I am blind; and out<br >0fkindness to them, in the desolation of Sunday afternoon,<br >I gather past and present together and tell them stories.<br >Today I tell them about Isabel, who fell in love, and in so<br >doing made the whole world falter and take a different<br >turning.<br >Pit-pat, spitter-spat. Listen! How the rain blows against the<br >window-pane. Easy to feel, on such a day and in such a<br >place, that great events are nothing to do with us, that we<br >are cut off from sources of worldly energy, that people and<br >politics are entirely separate; that the mainstream of life is,<br >in fact, a long way off.<br >qt isn t so, I tell them. Isabel lived next door, The river<br >flows at the end of the garden; what s more, it s deep, wide,<br >muddy and tricky: not the tranquil flowing stream you<br >might hope for. Isabel almost drowned! <br >Pit-pat, spitter-spat. In the end we will all know more than<br >we did before. Shouldn t that be enough to base a life upon?<br >The women of Wincaster Row don t agree, of course<br >
