I’m going to Cornwall at Christmas.
The family clock is gone.

[pause]

[long pause]

DANIEL’S VOICE: Morning, Dad.

ARTHUR: Hello, son.

DANIEL’S VOICE: How are you?

ARTHUR: Fine.

[pause]

ARTHUR: I was thinking about that clock today.

DANIEL’S VOICE: What about it?

ARTHUR: Nothing really.
Just wondering who’ll have it after you.

[pause]

ARTHUR: Your mum always thought it would make six generations.

[pause]

DANIEL’S VOICE: Tell me about when you first got it.

[long pause]

ARTHUR: Your grandfather brought it round the week we moved into our first house.
Your mother hated it.

[Arthur laughs]

ARTHUR: First morning she woke up and it was eleven minutes slow.
She said, “Well, if this bloody thing is staying, I’ll have to teach it.”

[pause]

ARTHUR: So every morning after that she put it ten minutes fast.
By teatime...

[Arthur laughs quietly]

ARTHUR: Well.
You know the rest.
