Love in the Lakes : Penny Hancock : Cambridge University Press

Chapter 1 The lakes

            Robert has bad impression about the lake when he drove past here. Robert heard the crash and the scream as he came out of the woods and drove past the lake. Every day he hoped that he would get past the lake without it happening. But here it was again. He was calm again, he started driving, slowly, towards the pub. It was easier then cooking for himself after a long day at work. The pub food was good, local and organic. But the real reason Robert referred to eat at the pub was that it meant less time in his house, the house that was silent now. He was a vet and he was on call in every night, however, when it wasn’t really necessary. For example, the other day Mrs. Fellows had phoned Robert at midnight because her sat, harry, was sneeze. Local people thought of Robert as a kind man who always listened. These days he no longer spoke very much, but that didn’t matter. They called him ‘the silent animal doctor’. They wondered about his private life, but nobody asked.
