\u2018They talk about you,\u2019 he says. <\/p>\n

\u2018Who does?\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018The Parliament of Foxes gossip about nothing else,\u2019 he says. \u2018And on the edges of the horse fairs and carnivals from Appleby to Goldsithney they pass your name from hand to hand in the hope of guessing the future.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018What did you think was happening?\u2019 I asked. <\/p>\n

\u2018I thought I\u2019d developed ESP,\u2019 she said. \u2018Like that girl in the Stephen King book. Only it would have been a lot more useful when I was young, still, why look a gift horse in the mouth? I always say.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018So when did it start?\u2019 I asked. <\/p>\n

\u2018Last year,\u2019 she said. \u2018I knew something was wrong when the TV blew up.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Hail Dominic and Victor,\u2019 the foxes chorused, \u2018soon to be blessed above all other minor landowners in Herefordshire and the wider border regions.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018What?\u2019 said Victor. <\/p>\n

\u2018Congratulations,\u2019 said the first fox.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
