she wore a lot of heavy gold jewellery. Her skirt, Colin noticed,
was very short indeed. She could not have looked less like his
own wife, but he liked the way she looked.
'I've not seen you in here before, Colin,' John Bentley said.
'Where are you from?'
'Bath,' Colin said. 'My wife and I own a small computer
software company there. I'm in Brentwood for a couple of days,
teaching a course.'
'Oh, I don't know anything about computer software,' Linda
said. 'You must be very clever.'
She smiled at him and Colin laughed. 'No,' he said, 'my
wife's the clever one.'
Colin enjoyed being with the Bentleys. He liked their
friendly way of talking. Over the next hour, he drank more
than he had planned to drink. As a result, he became very
talkative. But after some time, he noticed that John Bentley
had become silent. Bentley was probably bored with hearing
him talk, Colin thought. But Linda kept asking him questions
about his business.
When it was time to leave the pub, Colin shook hands with
the Bentleys and they wished one another goodnight.
'Will you be here in Brentwood again?' Linda asked Colin,
as they walked out into the cool night air.
'Yes, I will, actually,' Colin said. 'I've got another two-day
course to teach at Sutton Chemicals in about a month's time.'
'Oh, so perhaps we'll be seeing each other again then!' she
said. 'That would be great.' Her eyes opened wide with pleasure.
'Yes,' Colin said. 'We must meet. I'd love to see you again -
both of you.'
Colin turned into the street, and John and Linda Bentley
walked towards a white van at the far side of the pub car-park.
'Goodnight, Colin!' Linda called.
