    Frederic Raphael the Glittering Prizes

    FREDERIC RAPHAEL THE GLITTERING PRIZES For Stella Richman and in memory of David Gore-Lloyd CONTENTS An Early Life A Sex Life A Past Life A Country Life An Academic Life A Double Life AN EARLY LIFE 'Hullo,' Adam said, when the girl opened the door, 'it's only me. Anyone at home?' 'Only me,' she said. 'Any news?' Adam looked blank. 'News?' 'Don't be silly. From Cambridge.' 'Oh from Cambridge!' He went past her into the sitting room. 'Well, they did send me this.' He was holding out a telegram. Sheila took it from him and read it. When she looked at him again, he was grinning. 'Aren't you a pig?' she said. 'Major Scholarship! You are a pig. "They did send me this!" Pig.' He tried to put his arms round her, as if he had earned something. She was a pretty, dark girl with green eyes and a very red mouth. In 1952 most girls had very red mouths, but Sheila's mouth had a pout at once sensual and disapproving, which gave its redness a particular charm. She wore a tartan skirt with a stainless steel safety pin in it, and a white angora sweater, enchantingly tight. She disengaged herself from Adam and went, awkwardly, to the mantelpiece, where candlesticks and family pictures in silver frames were arranged with symmetrical propriety. 'So,' she said, 'the secret is out. Adam Morris is a genius.' 'It's now official, that's all. It's no news to me.' 'Three years,' Sheila said. "You know what I'd like to do now? I'd like to drive down to my dear old school in a fleet of limousines — I've now officially left incidentally, as of the aforesaid telegraphic communication - and I'd like to wrap the good news round a large brick and sling it personally through the Headmaster's window.' 'What for? He got you your scholarship, didn't he? What's your grouse?' 'What's my grouse, what's my pheasant, what's my hard-boiled egg? He only did his damnedest to stop me getting anything at all.' 'Why would he want to do that?' Sheila was turning a chocolate round and round in its crinkled paper.
