      [first lines]

      Lionel Hardcastle: Finished.

      Jean Hardcastle: Oh. Did you ever work out why it was called 'Thunder in the Moon'?

      Lionel Hardcastle: No. There was never a mention of thunder or the moon.

      Jean Hardcastle: Perhaps it's an allegory.

      Lionel Hardcastle: Perhaps it's rubbish.
