Julian and William Walked (and walked and walked and walked) ...

William was walking Julian to Coogee from Tamarama, where William now lived. They were going to meet Tristan, a close relative. It was overcast and sprinked with light rain, on and off. Julian's legs were sore and she complained a little bit.
"What is this bit called," she asked.
"Quads, " William said.
"They hurt," Julian said. She had walked into the city the day before and swam laps at the Aquatic Centre, that she had noticed some years ago, but had only just managed to get to. The pool was good. Then she had walked back to Edgecliffe. People walk a lot in Sydney. If they take their cars, there is always a problem with parking. Julian had 2 parking tickets, worth $84 each, to prove it.

William became impatient with her.
"Say something interesting," she said, "I know there's someone interesting in there!"
The pressure was on. Julian was miffed. 'Walk with your father', she thought, 'he's obviously interesting'. She felt jealous and small, and walked in front without talking.

They later watched a movie which began with a beautiful woman telling a boy that he was beautiful. He then died and she went on to seduce a family man. His wife told her that she didn't admire her morals. It was back in the 1920's.

"Why are they so upset?" William asked Julian during the movie. It was a ballet back in Paris in the 1920's, and the music was like nothing that they had heard before. The audience were outraged.
"They haven't heard anything like it before," Julian said. "They were expecting something else."
"I liked it," William said, "but I guess I'm modern".
