Sadie meets Kevin by accident in the street one day. Sadie is a Protestant and Kevin is a Catholic. It is about 3 years since they have seen each other. They go for a cup of coffee and talk about their families and how they have been. Kevin is working in the scrap business, and Sadie is working in a hat department. They take a walk up to Cave Hill. On the way they meet Linda Mullet, who is Sadie’s old school friend and Tommy, Sadie’s brother’s girlfriend. Linda dislikes the fact that the two are hanging out together since he is a Catholic and she is a Protestant.

Home at the Jackson’s, where Sadie lives: Linda comes to see Tommy and tells Sadie’s parents that she saw Sadie and Kevin together. The parents do not like it. 3 summers ago Sadie and Tommy got mixed up in a fight with Kevin and his sister Brede.
