Chapter 28: The Sign
The cardboard sign was gone from the green doors.
So were the four empty screw holes in the brick.
The brass plate was back over the arch, polished so hard it hurt to look at.
HADDON & SONS, EST. 1884.
Under it, where there had only ever been brick, hung a new wooden board.
Dark green, with gold letters, still smelling of paint.
LAURA KENDRICK, PARTNER.
I stood in the middle of the cobbles with a coffee in each hand.
A train went over.
The whole lane shook, and the board didn't.
"It came at six," Oliver said beside me. "The plate. In its blanket. She had the sign man here by seven."
"On a Saturday?"
"She rang him at five. He's terrified of her."
Peggy came out of the green doors with her arms folded and looked up at her work.
"Well?"
"Peggy, you can't put my name on your family's sign."
"It's my sign. I can put the milkman on it if I like." She sniffed. "The firm's Haddon and Sons again, from Monday. P. Haddon and Company was only ever for a fight."
