Diamonds by Brian Ritchie

CHAPTER ANALYSIS.

  Preface:

  The way my life really was between 1977 – 1987.

  Prologue:

  Introduction to Emily and the excuse for writing it all now.

  The first draft for this story was written in 1988 but contained several pages of filth every 3-4 chapters – all chapters have now been cleansed.

  Any dialogue between Brian and Emily in present day is written in italics to differentiate between 1988 and 2010.

  Dialogue between Brian and Emily at the end of each chapter is to summarise the events of the chapter and set the scene to the next event.

  My lifelong philosophy - the opening to the original story is incorporated into this chapter - trying to convey the type of man I was then and now.
