START: Alice: Has he got through?
Tom: I think not quite.
Alice: Sometimes when I ring from London it takes me two hours.
Tom: Hey, you’ve hurt your cheek.
Alice: Have I? Must have bumped into something last night. It’s not sore. Have a drink yourself.

END: Alice: She took part in the Battle of Bogside. Left Father and Uncle George and Claire alone here and joined the people in the streets fighting the police. That’s an attitude, isn’t it? That’s when Father had his first stroke. And seven months later she had a baby by a Dutch reporter. Does that constitute sufficient engagement?
