Lying in Wait
“I spent nearly a year in an aunt’s house directly after my ninth birthday. It was because Daddy didn’t want me in Avalon after the accident.
It was just two years after Mummy had caused a scandal by running off with a plumber. She wanted to take us with her, but Daddy forbade it. He said he should never have married beneath him and that he would never get over the humiliation that Michelle, my mother, put him through.
Eventually, we all got used to her not being there. For the first year, I cri...ed myself to sleep every night, wishing and hoping she would come home. Diana called me a baby and said that Mummy didn’t love us, but it wasn’t true. Mummy did love me once. I remember the feeling.
Mummy was very beautiful. I recall her quite well, even though all the photographs were destroyed. When I look in the mirror now I can still see traces of her, despite the fact that I am much older than she was the last time I saw her. She died sometime in the 1960s, alone and abroad apparently.MoreLess
