My dear Chlamydia. It appears you have aimed directly at the heart of the matter.

Ms. Zimmer has reminded me of Aunt Enid’s familiarity with this area. As you know Ms. Zimmer spent much of her time in the area during the Second World War as, of course, she was at the time living with her Aunt.

Both of them regularly used to “visit the city” assisting men with their barrows late at night for various reasons, and due to the high number of warnings they spent much of 1944 occupying the air raid shelter in the old King William Street Station.

Apparently Ms. Zimmer says they were frequently “bombed all night”, but I’m not entirely sure I appreciate her meaning.

But of course this station was the original terminus of the Northern line from Stockwell and thus would explain how Enid has thus far managed to evade us.

I have asked Ms. Crickleton to triangulate and she has done some sterling work (not that I would expect anything less from such a master tiddlywinks player). It appears that the station itself has been built over by a construction known as Regis House – yet another royal connection.

More worrying is the issue of how we can extract her. Maybe we should arrange a reconnoitre?

  • Caring for Convalescents

    Ms. Walthorpe advises that – in line with government thinking – the bed-bound are perfect targets for austerity measures. Leftovers are ideal food, since the patient will appreciate anything you provide for them. And, she says, the less frequently you provide, the more grateful they become.
