You could see that Jasmine was hanging around Milton. She would happen to wander over to the school when he was gardening there, just to talk to him. The two of them sit down in the shade. She brought drinks over for him. He is a married man, you know that, and Annie is a good wife to him. Alex would have to come and join in the conversation so that Jasmine would leave and Milton could get to work again. Others just watched, noticed them there.
Milton’s little sister wrote in her school journal:
One night my brother was drunk and he was making us laugh then he said to my mum I gotta nother wife here and we laughed again and then he told Ricky and Alan to ring up for her but Ricky and Alan told him that they have no silver left and what for anyway she got no phone there. Last night when I was trying to go to sleep I heard someone fighting and so I woke up and look who was that and went back to sleep then my mother came out and woke me up again and asked us who was that banging the house and we told mum that is Annie banging the wall and my mum asked us why she is banging the house and we said we don’t know why she is banging the house and we went back to sleep again.
