Rilke, when my father left me his share in this auction house it was little better than a junk mart and organised fence. What is it now?' I raised my eyebrows; never interrupt the litany. 'It's the best auction house in Glasgow. But it'll not stay the best if you do things like this.

Woolworth's has had better sales. It's sad, Rose, sad. Crap furniture for DHSS landlords and it's been like that for weeks, months. This is good stuff, the best. I've seen it, you've not. We can shift it, but only if we stop arguing and get moving.' I made my phone call. It went no better than I'd anticipated. I promised to come in at five and explain myself. The rest of the afternoon would be spent on a rough inventory - furniture, paintings and miscellaneous objets d'art to be removed first. Rule number one: always move the good stuff first; that way you won't lose it or drop it, and if the deal falls through, you may still get something. The crew arrived at two, mutinous at the prospect of double shifts. I jollied them into a semblance of good humour - told them I was sure it would be thirsty work. I could see my commission ending up down their throats come the end of the week. When they saw what we had, they quietened down. The job was big. It was a while since we'd had a whole town house and the tight schedule meant we'd need extra hands - the usual unemployed sons, brothers, cousins, dragged away from their beds and daytime soaps for cash in hand. The novel was adapted for the stage a year after publication, the world premiere taking place in the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow in October 2003. [5]

I'll need to take a look around before I can give you a preliminary estimate of how long it'll take. I'll provide you with a rough valuation by the end of the week.' Louise Welsh – A Lovely Way to Burn cover art and synopsis". Upcoming4.me. 22 October 2013. Archived from the original on 23 October 2013. A Lovely Way to Burn is the debut book in the Plague Times Trilogy series. The story starts with a pandemic that leaves a trail of deaths in its wake. Christened the Sweats, this plague is sweeping the world, and it has left London in a crisis. The available hospitals are filled, and bodies continue to pile daily. Despite all that is going around her, Stevie Flint is convinced that her boyfriend’s death was not a result of the disease or any other natural cause. This review was published 12 years ago. Some of its information or my opinions might be out of date. Stevie is an unlikely heroine who started as a journalist before becoming a presenter working for a trashy TV. While the young woman would rather be out in the field chasing stories, her good looks make her job in front of the camera easy. Being a presenter comes with its perks, not to mention the better pay. Stevie’s looks and job possibly explains why she is able to date Simon Sharkey, a flashy doctor who wants nothing but the finer things in life. While many dismiss Stevie, especially the male-dominated world she is thrust to, she comes out victorious in the end. The young woman forms many alliances along the way, but at some point, it is clear that she is on her own. Her determination sees her overcome the odds and uncover a few truths about her boyfriend’s death.The reason you never had kids, Rose, is you would strangle them in the first week. But if you've changed your mind we could probably have them together. I owe you that much. You're forever getting me out of trouble and I never have to hit anyone in your defence or mind you when you're on a tear.' Well, if it's going to get done, I may as well start now. What about personal effects - papers, letters, anything of a private nature you might want to keep? Have you been through them with someone already?'
