Last Friends (Old Filth Trilogy)
“Fondle’s elite, came home from school at The Towers one day to No. 9 Muriel Street carrying a third letter to his parents, formally addressed and sealed.
He was taller now than either of them, broader and stronger. His hair was still extraordinary, wild and long, and white gold, and he had the same alert charm as the baby born nearly fourteen years ago after the Russian circus came to town. The letter said: “In view of hostilities in the south of the country and the attacks on our ports and... industrial centres I and the Governors of my School, The Towers, are asking for parents’ views on its evacuation to Canada in September.
A magnificent newly-built cruise-liner recently completed in India, The City of Benares, has generously been put at our disposal by the government, mostly for London children rendered homeless by the Blitz. There are berths for two hundred children, all of whom will travel free. There are also private passengers, trained voluntary foster-parents for the journey, excellent fostering promised for the time in Canada, however long this may be.MoreLess
