Tom late and came downstairs to find a plate of bacon and eggs kept warm in the oven, and a flurry of domestic activity already in progress. Chairs were being shunted to and fro, crates of glasses manhandled up the stairs, tables set out, draped in immense damask cloth, unused for years. Small vans burst into the forecourt through the arch of the gate-house, to park at the front door and unload pot-plants, piles of plates, crates of wine, trays of freshly rolls. When Tom asked for a job to do, he was given the exhausting of carrying big sackfuls of logs up the back stairs, as fuel for the many open fires. Aunt Mabel was , large-footed, wrapped in a garden apron, apparently tireless.

He sat down his sack and straightened his aching shoulders. "This is worse than the salt mines. How many more of these do I have to up?" "Oh, my darling, I didn't realise you were still it. I thought you'd stopped." He laughed. "Nobody told me to stop." She laughed too. Then she looked the massive watch on her wrist. "Let's have dinner," she said.
