Отрывок из книги
Dedicated to Natalie and Calvin Williams.
She could still imagine her uncle sitting in his big comfortable armchair in front of the fireplace. He was playing a low, soft tune on his harmonica while she and her brother Calvin sprawled across the floor at his feet, puzzling through their schoolwork.

“Oh Uncle!” Natalie laughed. “You’re a bit old-fashioned, I’m afraid.”
“Not at all,” he said. “Your hair is tres chic, and very becoming on you, but I do so love to unpin a woman’s glorious locks.”
