CHAPTER TEN Since this narrative seems to be moving from past events, to the future, and back to the present, it is hoped none of the clarity has been lost in the process. When an English friend of mine read the typescript of Pussywillow she remarked that all the place names in Canada caused her not a little confusion. Never having visited this country and possibly not being a great traveler herself she found it rather disconcerting to read of all the moving around we had experienced and I am fairly sure she was not wishing herself in our shoes—envy would be the last trait one could attribute to her, in this respect at least. Before going back to Weybridge and events there, let me say that sometimes one does meet a ‘ship’ (a person) a second time if only through correspondence. Here is such an instance. Last year, right out of the blue I received a letter from a person with whom I had had no contact for around seventeen years; I never expected to hear from her again since we were in different countries and, she being a much younger person, merely a girl in her early teens, we did not enjoy any mutual interests. However, Adrienne wrote to me because the <strong>Rampa</strong> Family had been ‘on her mind’ for some time. She wrote how she had left the flower shop where she had worked when we knew her in Dublin, and we had lived in the apartment above. During that period it was necessary for me to travel to London occasionally and on one of those trips it was arranged for Adrienne to accompany me. Since she had never been away from home before it was quite an experience for her—and a responsibility for me. She told me in the letter that she has visited London many times since—and that she always 54
thought of us, especially when she used to pass the hotel where we had stayed—Whites Hotel on the Bayswater Road, the only place available, it seemed on that particular weekend, which was a national holiday. However, we enjoyed the trip and since the airplane was comparatively small and flying fairly low we were able to enjoy the beauty of the countryside below us—especially as we flew over the mountains of Wales. The Welsh mountains are noted for their rugged beauty. Adrienne enjoyed herself immensely—visiting Madame Tus- saud's waxworks where there could be seen figures of the famous, and infamous. The dungeon was a gruesome place where the murderers, and the murdered, could be seen. This museum is most interesting and no visitor to London should miss a visit. We took a bus tour around the city, and the places of greatest interest were pointed out to us by a guide, places like the Houses of Parliament, 10 Downing Street, St Paul's Cath- edral, where one might enjoy the work of Sir Christopher Wren, and of course Big Ben the famous clock received great admiration. Not to be forgotten were Westminstcr Abbey and Buckingham Palace where one could view the changing of the Guard—then Trafalgar Square to see the fountains, and the pigeons, and Adrienne was impressed with the belts of green- such as Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens where small boys and large men enjoyed sailing their model boats. We thought it would be nice to visit a cinema if we could find one which was showing a worthwhile movie. Someone or something must have been guiding us for in a very short period of time we found something which could not have been better in Adrienne's case. The theme depicted life as a nun and since my companion was of the Roman Catholic faith it was an ideal choice. The title of the film I will always remember—the film actress Deborah Kerr portrayed a nun and the name of the film was Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison. Adrienne was thrilled with it. And now she is married with a small son and a small daughter, and in the past year to a year and a half I have received several letters from her—just for the sake of old times, for the sake of those other days when we were all younger and more carefree. So there was a case where someone 55
