The SVP members had certainly pulled out all the stops. Fancy serviettes, little carnations on the tables, a great choice of cakes and lots of happy customers. And, unless you rushed off as soon as you'd finished your coffee, somebody would explain to you what the SVP do for lonely, sick, housebound and hospitalized people, so as to make you feel better about paying £1 this week instead of the usual 50p.

Now nearly everybody's gone, and the rest of us are having a well-deserved rest from the morning's labours, when who should come in but Fr Danny. What's he up to? What are you whispering in Joan's ear, Father? She was just sitting there quietly enjoying the erudite conversation around her until you arrived!
