The Magpie of Agecroft
A sharp lesson in Pendlebury about flattery, a silver watch, and the price of seeking approval.
The Man Who Praised Too Much
A sealed sandwich, a bench outside St Augustine's, and a man who knows exactly what to say. Freddie has not eaten since yesterday and he wants Charlie's lunch — but he does not ask for it. A short story about flattery, favours and the price of wanting to be liked.
