Jonathan Coe - The Dwarves of Death # 7 The Smiths

 

'I know that windswepped, mystical air. It means I'd like to see your underwear...'

The kind of set piece that is distinctively Coe and could not be another. William, for reasons only known to himself decides that a proposal in song is in order. He arrives at Madeline's birthday party and fins her surrounded by posh types clearly out of his class. Madeline is with her friend Piers. They are clearly more than friends.
