When I returned from school I found we'd moved:
'53 Church Street. Yes, the slummy end'--
A little laugh accompanied the joke,
For we were Chelsea now and we had friends
Whose friends had friends who knew Augustus John:
We liked bold colour schemes--orange and black--
And clever daring plays about divorce.
--from Chapter 6, "London"
