Staff in a paint shop start seeing mortality in a row of houses. It has a melancholic effect on sales.

"The paint shop was deservedly proud of its reputation in the city. For here it was not just a matter of selling paints and wallpaper..."

One of five quietly unsettling short stories by Elspeth Davie, described as one of Scotland's finest and most underrated writers.

Read by Edith Macarthur.
