Summary
It was a Saturday morning.
Although when you were in service, Thomas noted, it made little difference what day it was. Unless it happened to be your half-day, in which case it mattered very much.
It was not, however, Thomas's half-day this particular Saturday.

Summary
As a child Jimmy had always enjoyed the lazy pace and comfortable slowness of a Sunday: waking up to the smell of bacon cooking in the kitchen; putting on his freshly ironed shirt, the cuffs and collar stiff with starch; walking down to church hand-in-hand with his mother. Snippets of various Sundays across a span of his youth were amongst the most warmly-remembered memories he had. Jimmy had never been much for religion even as a child, but had gone to church without argument because it had always seemed so important to his mother – it had made her happy, and thus had made him happy.
