Sit closer, the gas lamp's gone low and I'm not getting up to turn it. Bubbles, you want to know about. My father sold soap bubbles on the Mersey ferry steps for forty years, a bent wire wand and a pot of washing-up liquid cut with glycerine, and he'd tell anyone who stood still long enough that a bubble is only a circle that hasn't made up its mind where to stop.

Every night he blew them out over the water under the streetlamps, and every night the same thing happened. One would brush against another and neither would pop. They'd sit there tangled, a double ring here, a bead of light there, and the children would shriek for their pennies back. He said the lonely ones never touched anything at all.

A woman called Nell Acheson came down most nights in a green coat. She never bought a bubble, only watched. One November she asked for one, just one, and he made it so big it wobbled across the quay and sank into the crane lights. She laughed till she cried. Then she said, "Nobody loves me more than me, Mr Doyle, so I'd best be the one who keeps count." He said, "Then make the wish big enough to hold them all."

He blew it. It rose, caught the lamplight, and before it burst it had a small bright ring wedged inside, then another, then a dozen, all pressed together and shining. It went up into the dark like stars that had decided to stay close. Nell watched it go. She didn't say a word, just pulled off her green glove and waved it at the sky.
