Page 146 - "He'd regularly got cars this way in the past, but this particular time, the arrangement broke down the day before we were due to set off."
I did a double take upon reading this passage of the book. I knew I spotted some literary term, but this implied metaphor didn't jump out at me like the others terms have so far. I give props to Ishiguro for this sentence. Since they were talking about getting a car the phrase "broke down" was used instead of "fell through." As I said in the earlier blog, Hailsham would come up again, and now it has. The five accomplices are taking a trip to Norfolk to rediscover Hailsham and "find all their lost things." But I have one question: why was Ruth sour at first about Kathy going with them? I think it is because she still has sour feelings about her from earlier in their lives.
