It's the Monday after the harvest festival, and Tom has kept his word — the roofer is coming Thursday. Tonight, Mr Pritchard stops by for tea and quietly mentions his heart. And at three o'clock, Iris walks down the road to meet Margaret, who has been awake since six debating which biscuits to put out.
