Sample 'Good of you to drive me, Ernie/ Harry said, as the gears of Love's van gave another mangled squeal. 'You'd not have got there bloody else, would you?' 'No, I suppose not.' He winced as they sped round a bend, suspension and wheel-arch grating, and wondered again if the taxi fare would not have been a sound investment. Ernie's occupation, aside from betting, was that of a jobbing plumber, but he had freely confessed to Harry that it had 'gone by the bloody board' since Beryl's death, hence the illegibility of his name on the side of the van, the lamentable state of the vehicle's mechanics and the unserviceable appearance of the ballcocks and tap-fittings clanking around behind Harry's seat. 'We're coming into the village now,' said Harry, trying not to sound as relieved as he felt at sight of the Portesham sign. Ernie had volunteered to drive him there midway through his seventh Mackeson in the Globe the night before and, like the hard-nosed gambler he was, had insisted on honouring his pledge. They turned off the Bridport road with a sickening tyre-screeching lurch and plunged down along the narrow main street of the village. 'Been here before, have you?' Ernie calmly enquired, oblivious to the speed he was maintaining.
