Report from South Africa III: the long goodbye

Leaving my house in Coventry at 3am presented two main dangers: rain, and drunken revellers. Rain threatened, and drunken revellers impressed me with their cogency.

"What are you doing with a suitcase at this time of night?" asked a girl, who felt that I was more interesting than the argument that she was having with her boyfriend. Before I could respond, she squealed "you're getting married, aren't you?!"
Smiling no, I withdrew.
