Sophie tells Geoff about meeting with Danny Casey

- Geoff’s room was full of pictures of footballers.

- Sophie told her brother another secret of her but on a condition that he would not tell
this to their dad. His brother did not want to believe her but listened to her because of
her undue stress. She then told him that when she met him, it was she who started the
conversation by asking him whether he was Danny Casey.

- She also asked for an autograph for little Derek but as both of them didn’t have any pen
or paper, he promised to give it in their next meeting. Her brother did not believe this as
he was doubtful of what she was saying. So, he picked up his jacket and left. Sophie
wondered if her brother did not care about his looks much though he should be doing so
because he was tall and handsome.

The family goes to watch the Match-
- On Saturday Sophie, her father and two brothers went to see the football match of their
favorite team- United.

- It was a regular thing for them because they were all huge fans of football. Danny’s
team won.. Everyone was happy, Sophie was so happy that she glowed and Geoff was
so excited.

Sophie’s father went to the pub after the match and so she brought her brother Derek
back home. Derek told his mother that this time Ireland would win the world cup.

Jansie’s Inquisitiveness-

- Sophie was inquired by Jansie as to what was she telling everywhere.

- Sophie surprisingly asked her the reason for asking her this question. She then told her
that her brother Geoff told Jansie’s Brother, Frank that Sophie had met Danny Casey.

- Sophie got angry because she had never thought that her brother would disclose her
secret. She was worried because Jansie had the habit of sharing secrets with the whole
neighborhood which she didn’t want to happen.

- Sophie got angry with Geoff’s behavior.
