I wonder if the telephone call idea came to him upon receipt of his new answering machine. Did he resent paying for the refurbishment of Bourtree Cottage which his parents had shoved him into whilst the twins were residing in his bedroom at White House Farm?
Was there really nothing left in the familial relationship,no redeeming feature in his parents as he opened the master bedroom and switched on the light..uninhibited as he chased Nevill downstairs and bashed him with the rifle stock in an orgy of pent- up violence,legitimate recompense for his wilful abandonment as he laboured one further hour on the tractor in solitary insolence,the Farm silhouetted against the waning moon,sentient human beings within,yet with whom Jeremy had long since failed to communicate.
