Chapter 10
Eventually, all good things have to come to an end, and thus it was for The Big Dave club.
We'd had some interesting and fun times during that summer, but I was now off to University and life was going to become a little more prosaic.
We kept in touch, Gloria, Brenda and me, but it was hard to find the time to chat on the phone when every minute had to be paid for and I was working my way through a degree course on a student grant plus my savings.
Trips back home mostly required me to stay for as long as possible with my family so there were few opportunities to see the ladies then either.
Life became routine, but fate often throws in a curveball when you least expect it.
Brenda
I was studying in my room when I heard the phone ringing in the downstairs hallway.
I knew there were others at home in our shared student house but no one was rushing to answer it.
Unable to concentrate because of the persistent ringing, I eventually went down and picked up the handset.
"Hello?" I said.
"Dave?" It was Gloria.
"Hey, Gloria!" I answered cheerfully, "How's it going?"
There was a pause.
"Dave, it's Brenda." There was a slight catch in her voice as she said the name and I knew something was wrong. "She's.......she's dead, Dave." she finished and I could hear her sobbing.
"How?" I asked, simply.
Gloria explained, in between sobs, that Brenda had taken sick a few months ago and, apparently, went to the doctors and was diagnosed with a cancer. She kept it a secret from her friends, including Gloria and me, and then last week she was rushed to hospital. Gloria didn't find out until this morning that Brenda had died.
I was stunned. I couldn't think of anything to say and tears began to trickle down my cheeks.
"She's gone, Dave. It doesn't seem possible." sobbed Gloria in my ear.
I felt a tremendous need to go back home and I confirmed to Gloria that I wanted to attend the funeral. She agreed and said she would let me know when arrangements had been made.
I spent the next few days in a bit of a daze, trying to imagine this funny, clever woman was gone forever. It didn't seem possible.
Eventually, about three days later, Gloria phoned again and told me that the funeral would be the following week.
I knew I couldn't easily explain to my family why I was coming back from college to attend the funeral of a woman they had never known of, so Gloria said she would come to the college and pick me up and drive us to the service. Then I could either come straight back here or stay over at the farm, depending on how I felt.
The day arrived and the doorbell to the student house rang. One of my housemates got there first and let Gloria in and told her which room door was mine.
She knocked gently and called my name.
I let Gloria in to my student digs and we embraced for a long time and shed a tear or two together.
After our emotions had settled she sat on my bed and looked around the shabby room.
"Crikey Dave!" she said, "It's a bit grotty here."
"We're students, Glo." I replied, "It's supposed to be grotty."
"Yeah, I suppose." she said, "By the way, your housemate thinks I'm your mum." Gloria chuckled at this.
"Doesn't surprise me." I said, "And he's actually met my mum......more than once!"
I dressed in the smartest sombre clothes I owned at that time and we set off to the church in Brenda's village.
It was a decent turn out, but nearly all the people there were unknown to me and I received many curious stares from her family and friends.
But finally we said our farewell to Brenda and left the church. Neither of us wanted to attend the wake and I told Brenda I'd be happy to go back to the student house.
She drove us in silence to begin with and then we started reminiscing about our escapades with Brenda and the Big Dave Club, and then our moods lifted and we were able to laugh again.
What better way to remember a friend than with laughter?
The Millways
Closer to the college Gloria announced that she was hungry and suggested we have a dinner somewhere nice.
There was an expensive hotel in town with a restaurant I'd heard good things about and so we decided that we would give it a try.
It was quite posh but at least we were both dressed for it in our formal funeral attire.
In the dining room we had a nice table for two and selected from their menu.
I noticed some looks from other diners, mostly middle aged people, and many appeared to be smiling in our direction, probably imagining a doting mother taking her college student son out for a fancy dinner.
The table next to us had a middle aged American couple who talked enthusiastically to the waitresses about the sights to be seen in this area.
Towards the end of the meal I visited the toilets and when I returned I found Gloria in conversation with the Americans.
"Darling," she said looking up at me, "This is Mr and Mrs Millway. Their son is at your college."
"Sam and Millie." said the American guy and reached out his hand, which I shook and did the same with Millie, his wife.
'Millicent Millway' I thought to myself, 'What a name!'
I returned to my seat and we all four got into conversation. Apparently their son was too busy making new friends and settling in to his 'digs' to be able to spend much time with his parents.
"I think we cramp his style." said Sam with a chuckle.
"That's why it's so lovely to see you out with your mother." offered Millie.
Gloria and I exchanged looks but neither of us were prepared to disabuse them of this assumption. We both found it quite amusing.
After the meal ended Sam suggested we have a drink in the bar. I looked at Gloria. If she wanted a drink she wouldn't be able to drive home but we could always get a cab back to my student house afterwards and she could stay the night there. She would have to phone her hubby but I was sure we could think up some excuse.
"Sure!" I said enthusiastically and as the Millways went on ahead of us I put my proposal to Gloria.
"You could probably do with a proper drink after today." I said, "We both could. And it's only one night." I finished my pitch to her. I knew she wasn't keen on the student house but at least she would be able to unwind.
Gloria nodded her agreement and slipped away to call her husband while I joined the Millways in the hotel bar.
The bar was fairly busy and we had to wait a while for service but drink orders were eventually placed and Millie went to find a nice table to sit at while I waited with Sam.
Gloria emerged and joined us to give her order of a double gin and tonic and then she went and sat with Millie.
Sam looked at Gloria and then me and smiled.
"Fine looking woman, your mother." he said.
"Thank you." I replied, "Millie is very lovely too."
His eyebrows went up at this and his smile got a little wider. The bartender then appeared with our drinks and we carried them over to the ladies.
Unfortunately we weren't sitting for long when they called last orders, meaning that the bar would soon be closing.
"Dammit!" said Sam, "Just as we get to find some fine folk to spend time with, they close the place down."
Millie explained that they both still had jet lag and found themselves wide awake when everyone else was asleep.
Sam suddenly excused himself and went back to the bar. We continued our chit chat at the table until he returned.
"I have an idea." he said, "We have a pretty big suite here. Thought the son and heir might stay a few nights but that was not to be." he said, a little sadly, "So, I can have the staff here take up a couple of bottles of wine, on ice, and some glasses and we can continue this little party upstairs!" He clapped his hands together and then rubbed them enthusiastically.
His gaze switched from Gloria to me and then back.
"Oh please say you will." said Millie and placed her hand on Gloria's arm.
We exchanged looks. Something was a little odd, but then they were Americans and maybe this was just normal for them. I'd heard that Americans were very gregarious.
I nodded at Gloria, who then smiled up at Sam and said that we would be delighted to join them.
So, up the ornate stairs we four trotted to the Millways suite.
True to his word Sam had procured wine and glasses and set about pouring them for us while we sat on soft, upholstered chairs arranged around a small card table.
We chatted and drank and Sam even put on the room's radio to a soft jazz channel, but not too loud to interrupt our conversations or annoy the other guests.
After about half an hour, Gloria announced she needed to use the bathroom and Millie said: "Same!" and both women staggered off to the en-suite in a fit of giggles.
