English term or phrase: To be fair, my mother is such a vague person ..... trails her fingertips over
- Her eyes flick from side to side as she wipes after another off her list
- Not that I would ever live here again. The place is all extension and no house.
- To be fair, my mother is such a vague person, it is possible she cant even see herself. It is possible she trails her fingertips over a line of girls in an old potograph and can not tell herself apart.
- Cupboards full of old sheets; something cooked and dusty baout the lagging around the immersion heater; the chair my father used to sit in, the arms shiny and cold with the human waste of many year. It makes me gag a liitle and then I cannot smell it any more. it just is. It is the smell of us.
- What could she have said to him? what possible provocation could she have afforded him
- 'Did anyone see my purse?' becoming, for those few second , nearly there , as she went from hall, to sitting room, to kitchen. even then we did not look at her but everywhere else: she was agitation behind us, a kind of collective guilt, as we cast about the room, knowing that our eyes would slip over the purse, even if it was quite clearly there
