At dusk a fox comes down to drink at the far bank. For a moment the two of them regard each other over the moving water, bird and fox, neither in any hurry. Then the fox melts back into the shadows and Polly climbs the darkening lanes home, smelling of river and entirely satisfied with a day in which nothing important happened.
