Diamond Days



Amidst the music of the wind and the waves, Tindle thought he could hear his mother calling him home “Nathan, Nathan”. (Nathan was his Christian name.)

And it was only when, as a very elderly old man, did Tindle look back into his former days with the clarity and wisdom of a supernatural review - when the memory unlocks the happiest of times - and there, chair-bound, his tired mind saw himself as a child holding the diamond he had left behind, and only then he realised what it was he had lost.
