Corva/Contacts

• Anton Promising. First of the brothers I've met, I hope his faith and his optimism bear out. Takes a bit of tail-pulling well enough. Least convincing farmer I've ever seen, though.

• Gaz Partridge, so very serious but then, he has to be. Salt of the earth and trash is treasure, as we say, but he hasn't figured that out yet. Hopefully there's still time.

• Harry Smith is a long acquaintance, one of the few remaining. More valuable than he knows, though he wouldn't know actual value if it landed on his head from the top of the Gherkin. Solid bass axeman and gets the chicks for free.
