At this reunion, they came in together, rolled their trousers up under the table, and there they were: a pineapple on each calf, crowned with spiky leaves, the bodies filled with the same tangled circles. Somebody asked who thought of it first. Neither of them would say. They just looked at each other across the hall, and the tea went cold.
