"A bottle of Rioja, pilfered from work, dangled from a plastic bag at Bergmann's wrist; he held an umbrella with his other hand. The wind seemed to be personally against him as he slogged up Camden Road, the bottle banging against his thigh. He had heard it starting when he was getting out of the shower, rain clattering like someone throwing pebbles by the handful at the bathroom window."
