That I would even want close friends. Those days were gone. Over the years, I’d rescued colleagues and they’d rescued me. I’d built relationships and grown fond of people. I even had a few individuals, other than Leon, who were special to me. Peterson – always. Guthrie. Helen – whether she liked it or not. Even, sometimes, Mrs Partridge …  And Markham. Grubby, disastrous, loveable, brave as a lion. No one ever talked much about their time before St Mary’s, but I could make an educated guess. Something had happened to him – I could guess what – and he’d had to make a choice. How to deal with it. You can get angry – I did – but that wouldn’t have worked for him. He was small. He’d have been beaten to a pulp. So he’d become a clown. Self-preservation. People don’t hurt you if they’re too busy laughing at you. Obviously, it had served him well and even though he didn’t need it at St Mary’s, he’d kept up the charade. He was, in fact, intelligent, tough, and as Major Guthrie had once said, ...very, very good at his job.MoreLess
