calling Mo. Mo was usually surly and untalkative but Elfish would move the conversation along by criticising Elfish. Mo went along with this for a while but eventually asked Amnesia why she kept phoning him. After all, they had only met on one brief occasion, some time ago. It was not beyond Mo’s egotism to imagine that since then Amnesia had dreamed of him constantly and now wished to bring her dreams to fruition, but if this was the case he supposed that she might as well come out and say it.
    Now Elfish was indeed trying to give this impression to Mo but she prevaricated, intending that his desire for Amnesia should make him amenable to her plan. So she did not come right out and say yes, she did want Mo’s body, but let the question lie unanswered without refuting it in any way.
    As a help, she had already induced Aran to phone Cody, who lived with Mo, and work Amnesia into the conversation. This had taken some persuasion as Aran claimed to be too depressed to do anything at all but he had eventually cooperated to oblige his sister.
    During the conversation he mentioned to Cody, without any skill or subtlety, that he had last week run into Elfish’s old friend
Amnesia and it struck him as remarkable how much she resembled Jayne Mansfield, and by coincidence she had told him how much she admired musicians, and by further coincidence she was planning to visit Brixton very soon.
    Provided that Cody had been sufficiently stoned at the time of the conversation not to realise that Aran was making it all up, which was likely, this tale should now have got back to Mo.
    Aran was grumpy after this conversation. This was partly because he had been forced into actually doing something, which he always tried to avoid, and partly because Elfish had absolutely insisted that he stress to Cody the dazzling blondeness of Amnesia’s hair and the impressive size of her breasts.
    â€œI can’t go around saying things like that,” he complained to Elfish. “It will be terrible for my image. If word got out, left-wing publications would stop giving my books good reviews.”
    â€œLeft-wing publications would send round lynching parties if they actually heard some of the things you say in private about the woman who lives next door,” replied Elfish.
    She was satisfied with her progress. As a consequence of the phone call from Aran, Elfish now expected that Mo would be prepared to do a little work on Amnesia’s behalf because Mo’s sexuality, despite having many outlets, was always on the lookout for more. Or, as she put it to Aran, Mo was ruled by his dick.
    Elfish continued with her own telephone conversation. “I’ll come right out with it, Mo. I want your help in revenging myself on Elfish. You know what she did to me and I plan to pay her back.”
    Speaking to Mo enraged Elfish and only the knowledge that it was necessary for her cause enabled her to cope with her fury. No degradation was too severe in her quest for the name of Queen Mab.

    â€œWhy is it so important to her?” Cody had asked Aran during their conversation, but beyond saying that Queen Mab was the deliverer of dreams, which might mean something to Elfish, and maybe even to Mo, Aran was unable to answer this satisfactorily.

    CARY AND LILAC decided to save for their visit to the country although the concept of saving was tedious, difficult and completely unknown in their social circles. Realising that it would be a poor holiday with only sufficient money for fares, they determined to save enough to travel, to eat bread and drink cider and exist in comfort for a few days.
    â€œWe can find a tree, eat some bread, feed ducks in the stream, drink our cider then fuck on the grass.”
    This seemed like a perfect arrangement. There was unfortunately the problem of saving money. Not only was this a difficult prospect in itself, but there was the additional problem of Dennis. Dennis was the sole other occupant
