Oh, we all know Reg is the official hottie in the Chalet School series (Joey's first born does, after all, memorably swoon into his arms) but Roger? If ever a book involved a swoonsome debut of a new hero to be, this is that book and Roger is that chap.

Rubbing a glistening circle on the steamed-up window I framed a pheasant in a field of mist… —Edwin Morgan, “Aberdeen Train” published in CENTENARY SELECTED POEMS, @carcanet.bsky.social 2020 #poem #poetry www.carcanet.co.uk/cgi-bin/inde...

Edwin Morgan
Aberdeen Train

Rubbing a glistening circle
on the steamed-up window I framed
a pheasant in a field of mist.
The sun was a great red thing somewhere low,
struggling with the milky scene. In the furrows
a piece of glass winked into life,
hypnotized the silly dandy; we
hooted past him with his head cocked,
contemplating a bottle-end,
and this was the last of October,
a Chinese moment in the Mearns.
