Morgan, Morgan, forty-one, the only reporter and sixty-per-cent owner of the Larch Advertiser, a weekly that is losing money and goes to press on Thursdays at six

So beginnt es

Denny Gorman, who had lent money to half of Larch, was found on Wednesday morning in the yard behind the old pharmacy, and by lunchtime the town had settled it. The queue at the bakery settled it, and the men outside the bookmaker's, and both lollipop wardens between them. Nobody saw a thing. Nobody heard a thing. It was a terrible shame. The Larch Advertiser went to press on Thursday evening. It had one reporter, who also owned most of it, and a day and a half to fill a front page.
