ELIZABETH BURNET PULLS HER COAT TIGHT. Not simply for the cold. She’s being watched. High-heeled shoes clatter on concrete slabs. She might topple. Doesn’t like heels. Never has. But: You need to look the part. Christ. Feeling foolish. Done up like a hoor, her mother would say. So much for her ‘respectable’ profession. Dudhope Park should be safe. But in the past four weeks, several women have been approached. The man’s behaviour escalates with each encounter. No rapes. Yet. But: It’s a possibility. Eyes on her. Walk faster. The heels make it difficult. Someone approaching. Didn’t see him on the main path earlier. Maybe waiting in the bushes? Male. Mid-thirties. Dark hair. Big coat. Holding it closed. Maybe – like Burnet – protection against the bitter cold. Aye. Right.
