Text

START: DAKIN: In the room I stayed in there was a handbook to the colleges, list of previous undergraduates and that. I looked you up only you weren’t there.

[... …]

END: IRWIN: I was going to be working, going through the accounts of Roche Abbey. It was a Cistercian house just to the south of Doncaster. Only I think I just had a better offer.

DAKIN: I think you did. And we’re not in the subjunctive either. It is going to happen.
