Christmas is a’coming

I’ve been so busy at work of late that it’s been hard to believe that the festive season is almost upon us. Until yesterday evening, that as, when I stumbled upon the choir from a most eminent girls’ school performing a medley of carols in their local railway station.

I happened to have a few minutes before my train, so paused to listen. Suddenly, a phone trilled. Not mine, dear readers, but that of a young lady in the front row of the choir. She stepped out of formation; spoke anxiously into the handset; returned shamefaced to her position. The supervising staff glared at her; she avoided their eyes.

I’ve never written a choirmaster story. I’m beginning to think that that’s an omission from my repertoire
