Murder Most Fab
“Life in Blackheath was formal but unhurried. Grandma Rita had a butler, a cook and a housekeeper as well as Andrew the chauffeur, and everything ran like clockwork. She even hired a private tutor to make sure I didn’t fall behind with my schoolwork. At dinner each night she gave me a brief report on my mother’s progress.
‘Alice had her restraints removed for fifteen minutes today. Apart from the chewed skirting-board there was remarkably little damage. Her doctor thinks this is splendid news.’ ...After lessons in the morning, I would join Grandma Rita for lunch in the conservatory, where she would ask how my studies were going. In the afternoon I would read, explore the house or go out for a long walk, discovering Greenwich Park, Deptford market and beyond, once I’d got the hang of the buses, to Peckham and Camberwell. Slowly I discovered London Town, and was dazzled by all it had to offer. I wandered wide-eyed, through the dark autumn evenings, past the bright lights of Shaftesbury Avenue and in colourful Chinatown.MoreLess
