Sophia lies on the late Mr Cutt's bed naked from the waist down. Benny puts on his trousers listening out for voices from the passage. He thinks he heard someone call him a few moments ago. Shame you have to go Sophia says. I am sure I heard someone call me he says. Really? she says. Yes may have been Matron he says. Sophia gets off the bed and looks for her underwear. He having dressed opens the doors gingerly and peers out. No one is there just the TV sounds coming from the lounge up the corridor. Is it ok? she says getting dressed. Yes no one about he says I'm going along to see how the old folks are. He closes the door on her and walks along the corridor to the lounge and enters. Two old men sit there one asleep the other watching the TV. How are you? Benny says. The old man looks at him I'm ok what time is dinner? he says. Benny looks at his wristwatch an hour yet Benny says. Ok the old man says and turns to watch the TV again. Benny walks out and back along the corridor and opens the door of the late Mr Cutt's room. She's gone leaving the bed tidy as it was before or so it seems from the bedroom door.

SOPHIA THAT MORNING 1969.
Sophia lies on the late Mr Cutt's bed naked from the waist down. Benny puts on his trousers listening out for voices from the passage. He thinks he heard someone call him a few moments ago.
