Chapters featuring "Death"

The Death of Ms. Alice Zimmer

Ms. Alice Zimmer – much to the surprise of everyone (including herself) – appears to have passed away. The state of affairs is unexpectedly short-lived, which proves to be of no comfort whatsoever to the sacrificial offering.

Chariots of Fire

The groups make a visit to a London sanatorium in order to partake of the waters for the good of their health. Regrettably the mortality rate proves to be rather higher than one might reasonably expect.

Firestorm Over Europe

As if the Second World War had not been traumatic enough the destructive power of a super-charged Aunt Enid is unleashed during the ladies’ ill-conceived tour of Europe…

Up the Junction!

Hunting for the Thundersley – not to mention its occupier – the ladies are led on several terrifying missions into the dark dank underworld of Borough and London Bridge. What does “under the royal something grows” actually mean? And will anyone live to tell the tale…

Down the Tubes

With the monstrous form of Aunt Enid ensconced in the abandoned King William Street tube station, the ladies are forced into taking desperate action to extract her. After the damage inflicted by the Peanut Brittle, will the Northern Line ever be the same again? (And more to the point, will anyone notice?)

Words of Wisdom

Give a man a fire and he’s warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.

    White vinegar is a very effective way of preventing streaking when washing glassware. When trying to prevent streaking from elderly exhibitionists, however, we recommend white wine. And lots of it.
