Not entirely done

It was very quiet as teatime approached last night, the actual Bonfire Night. Could it be that the nasty spoilsports had cancelled all the events and everyone with private fireworks has let them off between last Friday and Monday to show they can’t be intimidated by nasty bastards?
    No, the pops and bangs resumed at the back end of 7 p.m. and the Mansion Cat retreated to a secret hiding place. So much for the efforts of the banners.
