Everyone except the man in pyjamas andslippers, standing on the wet grass at the end of his garden, watching and waiting . . . In these three short stories, H. E. Bates presentsordinary people like you and me. But as we get to know them better, we see that their feelings are not at all ordinary. In fact, whathappens to them - and in them - is passionate, and even extraordinary. Could this happen to you and me?
