|summary=When we first meet Boyd Longfellow Brookes he's musing over the fact that - however much you might wish otherwise - sounds, smells or small details can evoke the most painful of memories in full Technicolor. On this particular afternoon it was the music - Saint-Saens ''Violin Concerto No 3 in B minor'' - which brought back the scene which regularly invaded his dreams ''and'' his waking hours. Once again he was the eight-year-old boy whose father was thrashing him with a leather strap whilst his mother wept and Papa demanded to know if Boyd had molested the young daughter of a neighbour. He didn't even know the meaning of ''molest'' but the expressions on the faces of those around him told him all he needed to know.
