Description - A Five Year Sentence by Michael Downes
Danny's first day as an apprentice painter on a Lisnafar housing estate was nothing if not different. Taggart the foreman, loppy, dick,Bluebottle, herbert and the others of the 'troop' welcomed him with varying degrees of tolerence. A Catholic lad like danny had to keep a cool head on his shoulders and a quick wit to rub along with his protestant work mates - especially since his girl friend was also a Protestant. "What's your name boy! What's yer name?" Danny thought frantically for a good Protestant name " Ah...Danny, Danny ..." and then it came to him in a flash. The most famous name in Protestantdom "Cromwell" he blurted. From Michael's skilful use of the vernacularwe learn about the characters not from their physical descriptions but from what they say and do.
