'They've got a hotel,' I said, 'in Seville and a flat at Jerez and an office in Gib and in Malaga. They have acres of vineyards and a bull-farm and an interest in a shipping-line and three olive-oil factories, and some business in Spanish Morocco. Janey was finished in Florence and has been round the world twice and has just spent Christmas in Nassau and came back for the skiing. They want me to stay with them.' 'That's OK,* said Flo soothingly. 'Business will stand it.' It was after the funeral, and the rush for our services had cooled off at the same time as George, so Flo and I were staying at her mother's nice house in Hampshire. Flo's Mama is a brick, which compels me to weed the garden and paper the maid's room when I stay with her, so I don't go there too often. 'She's got a brother called Gilmore/ Flo added. 'Clem knows him.' I looked, but she wasn't hiding a smile. I had a crush on Gilmore Lloyd when we were at school. I only saw him once, but that was enough. He was head boy at Harrow. I said, 'How on earth does Clem know him?' Clem Sainsbury is Flo's favourite cousin. |
