Damascus (2011)
“THE TIMES 11/1/93 11/1/93 MONDAY 9:24 This was a perfect example of a time not to be frightened, and not to act like her mother. Henry Mitsui wasn't going to find her here, especially if she stopped answering her phone, and tomorrow he ought to be back in Japan. If he wasn't then she could call the police, so there was no good reason to be frightened. Waiting for Spencer to get back from the library, Hazel had made a complete tour of the house. Many of the impressive rooms were mostly empty, w...ith perhaps just the odd chair or table to suggest how they might be furnished given the will and the means, and the furniture. She looked closely at the scattered paintings: a Van Gogh reproduction, posters of a Lowry and a Vermeer, an original E. H. Shepherd Wind in The Willows illustration of Mole in a snow-storm. She also recognised a Rowlandson and a Vanessa Bell because she’d once offered a course in British Painters and Painting.
Eventually she’d decided to settle down with Sir John Magill's Last Journey in the ground floor dining room which overlooked the garden, and by the time Spencer found her she felt quite at home in the comer of an ancient and enveloping sofa.MoreLess
