The telephone exchange in Sparty Lea was in the General Shop cum Post Office, and the Postmistress let him call from her front room and even made him a cup of tea. His sister hadn't yet received the suitcase, appreciated the warning and offered to have someone drive it over to the village for Robert, which he accepted gratefully. He was conscious of Jervis being a trifle thinner across the hips than he was, and was terrified that he'd split the trousers with too much wear. He did, however, wander around the village and admire the old stone cottages and their lovingly-tended gardens. The high rocky slopes to the east and west tended to channel the wind along the road, and he was grateful for the thickness of his borrowed clothes.

The walk back to the Asylum took nearly an hour, with the steepness of the road and the views that Robert kept stopping to look at. He walked past the main gates, waved to Bill who was working on the side gate, and kept up until he came to where his car had come off the road. The length of the skid marks and the position of the large rocks that he'd just missed convinced him that he was damned lucky, and he felt as if his last remaining cat-life had just been crossed off the register.

Yep, still curious.

Also, I want to know who the knobbly-kneed guy was. WHO WAS THE KNOBBLY-KNEED GUY?
