Phone Message

‘Hello, Malcolm. Paul Beatty here. I just wanted to congratulate you personally on your win. And thanks for what you said about The Sellout last night. You didn’t have to, and I appreciate it. It just wasn’t my year. Well, congratulations again. Oh, and best wishes on this, your fiftieth wedding anniversary. Perhaps if you’re ever in the States we can have a drink? Bye for now.’
