Another possibility is that 'black cock' is a misnomer or a very local and unique term. It could be related to a specific event that happened on the beach that involved something black and cock - like in appearance. Maybe there was a black - painted boat that looked like a cock and it had some adventurous or comical stories associated with it on that beach.
One interpretation could be that it's about the wildlife on a beach. If 'black cock' is a type of bird, then the stories might be about their behavior, like how they nest on the beach or hunt for food.
It could also be a name given to a beach based on a local legend. Maybe there was a black - colored object or creature that was associated with the beach long ago, and over time, stories were created around it. For example, if there was a black rock formation that resembled a cock, and all kinds of fictional stories were made up about it being a magical or cursed thing on the beach.
One interpretation could be that it's about a famous person's encounter with a black rooster. Maybe the rooster caused some kind of comical or interesting situation when the celebrity was visiting a rural place.
One interpretation could be stories about roosters that fail at their typical roles. For example, a rooster that can't wake people up on time in the morning. Another could be about roosters that are not good at protecting their hens from predators.
A story might be that a wife and her family went to a beach and met an artist who was painting the beautiful beach scenery, including a black - rock formation. The family watched the artist work and the wife told the kids about the importance of art. They all had a great time chatting with the artist and enjoying the beach.
Another non - offensive way to look at it is that the 'black cocks' could be a local breed of poultry that is associated with the Louise Hotel in terms of local cuisine. Maybe the hotel used to serve dishes made from these black cocks, and there are stories about the special recipes or the sourcing of these ingredients.
It could be a story about the initial reactions of a black rooster in a certain situation, like its reaction to a new environment or new animals around it.
One interpretation could be that she heard some interesting folklore or stories about black cocks (as in the bird) and wanted to share. Another might be that she misinterpreted something and didn't realize it could have an inappropriate undertone. Or perhaps she is using it in a very specific cultural context that the husband may or may not be aware of.
Perhaps these stories are fictional tales that explore themes such as social class differences. The twinks might represent a more privileged or different social group compared to the janitor, and the stories could show how they bridge the gap or face challenges due to their different positions. It could also be about the janitor's influence on the twinks' perspective of the world around them, teaching them about hard work and humility.
It could be about a relationship between a daughter and a black horse (if'stud' refers to a male horse in this context), perhaps stories of her taking care of it or adventures they have together.
One possible interpretation could be that Veronica Black has a collection of stuffed animals and the stories revolve around how she acquired them, their significance to her, and any adventures she might have had with them. For example, if she travels a lot, she might pick up a stuffed animal from each place as a souvenir.
It's also possible that 'black cock' is used in a more metaphorical sense. Maybe it represents a difficult or unexpected element that the social worker has to deal with. Just like a black cock might stand out or be a bit of an oddity, it could be that there is an aspect of the social worker's job that is out of the ordinary and the 'black cock' is a way to represent that in the story. However, without more information, all these are just guesses.
