Sowerbutt's Absence

Polly heard a loud gasp as the stunning model swaggered along the catwalk. The audience stood as one, clapping, shouting and waving. One grey-haired woman in the front row put her fingers to her mouth and whistled. It was a triumph. As the smiling model left, George beamed, took Polly’s arm and led her up onto the catwalk. With the audience continuing to clap and cheer, she beckoned Dot, June, the other girls and Mr Witherspoon up onto the stage. “They adore your hats, dear one. I knew they would just fall in love with your beautiful collection the minute they saw them. The orders are going to pour in, I know it, I just know it,” George whispered as he bowed and waved to the crowd. Polly beamed and blew kisses to the audience, what a moment to remember. She wished Sowerbutt was there at her side to share her triumph, the girls’ wonderful creations and the audience’s sensational response. But she had not heard from her man for a couple of days.
