Another Twist in The Tale

very strange, why wasn't I staying in this lovely castle? we all said goodbye, plenty of kissing, cuddling and laughter and Patrick took me out of the castle and she said this is your drive, he will take you to your hotel and we will see you tomorrow and she plonked her lovely pouting lips on mine and she said loved seeing you look forward to seeing you tomorrow. I still could not believe it at the time but as I write these words I can see why now, I believe auntie Jacques didn't want us to be anywhere near one another!! I tried to sleep but found it very difficult after a beautiful evening with a lovely family and being in the attention of Silvano’s sister Patricia. Next morning the chauffeur arrives a bit late, saying we must get to breakfast with the family and as I put my hand on the rolls to enter the door I suddenly found my finger was trapped between the car and the door as the chauffeur closed the door! I remember distinctly, even now, that he was either annoyed with me, which he should not have been, but he shut the door in temper, I'm sure. Either he didn't like me, I still don't know what it was, but when I got back to the castle the attention I had from Silvano and the family on my bloody, nearly broken finger, was exemplary. My mind is rather hazy on this point, but I remember Dino drove me to Dino de Laurentis film studios in Rome which I found absolutely spell binding. It was here where I was introduced to my cousin Roy who was one of the top cameramen at the studio, who my aunt said we had very similar facial details. We got on immediately we met, I just gelled with him as if I'd known him all my life, I remember he said if you want Dino will find you a job here in the studios, which surprised me deeply and I then told him about my trip to London to meet another Company to work in Africa and he immediately said oh that will be good as my sister Natasha has a beautiful zoo and you could supply her with some beautiful animals, this did not impress me as I never believe animals should be kept in zoos I much prefer to see them as I did in Ceylon elephants etc. in the wild or in game reserves. I told him honestly that if I didn't have a bee in my bonnet about getting this job in Africa I would accept his offer there and then. 87
