BILL PHONES HIS FATHER ABOUT HIS MOTHER. Bill’s father and brother were driving Yellow Cabs, they were in secure jobs. Bill waited until the evening before he phoned his father the same day. Have you heard from mom where she could be? Asked his father. She’s gone to Sydney Bill said. Did she actually go? He asked. Yes she did this afternoon on the first train. That’s why her room is all in shambles he said, she has taken all her belongings and shot through. She will live at Uncle Henry’s place in Blacktown Bill said until she divorces you. She’s mad his father said, she tried to force me to sell the house like she did with the farm at Picton and to give up my job, but it’s not so easy to do that, houses are hard to sell, new jobs are hard to find, find a house to buy, if you don’t have cash from the property sale of the old place, you have to apply for credit to a bank and that’s got to be paid too. She wanted me to go to Sydney with her because she wants to put me in a mental hospital again Bill said. Is that what she told you on the phone? Yes it is. She told me to leave Estelle, she will help me divorce her and she wants to lock me up in a mental hospital. Mr Pomfret said, she should be locked up in a mental hospital not you. That’s what Miron told her he said. Mom was swearing and being nasty to me on the phone and I got Miron to talk to her. Here talk to dad he said. Hello Mr Pomfret I said. I can talk to you, I met you slightly in West End before. I remember that he said. What happened with my wife? She became abusive at Bill and started calling me a bastard. What for? Because I teach him good things against the mental hospitals and help him in that way. I helped him get away from Veeta Flats by standing guard to stop that woman in charge from abusing him and hitting him. I’m glad you know what to do he said, I never thought my wife was like that. She picked a fight with me and Bill’s brother about selling the house and moving back to Sydney, than when I said no, she threatened to divorce me and I told her to go to hell. That’s what Bill told her to do, to go to hell I said. Anyway, he helps me to clean up the transport depot on Sundays and to burn all the rubbish outside the gates that comes from the trucks once a week. Good he said, try teaching him to be clean and not to collect all the rubbish like he always does that he would never use. They got their room together I said, they were separated at Veeta also. I get him to collect up the junk pellets that aren’t wanted for burning, lot of junk lumber as well, it’s easy work, not stressful. There are always empty cartons left by the drivers, than you get lot of rubbish coming with the tide from Breakfast Creek. We clean up the river bank and burn it.
