(David Copperfield)

——————————

In the first house, my grandmother and I shared a dark bedroom with pink shells. Some days she would pick up her shells and push them to my ear.

‘Listen to the sea. If you talk to the sea, it will talk back. Listen to the sea, and it will take you somewhere nice.’

I picked up the shell with its curly horns and put it to my ear. I thought I heard the faint sound of the sea, and behind that, the sound of my grandmother laughing. I push the shell harder to my ear. I can hear the lapping of the waves, and behind that, other things: voices, shrieks, a young woman giggling, a young woman kicking her legs through the air and flying; a young woman with spots of rouge on her cheeks smiling up at a man called Cyril.
