“It won’t be long before Michael’s going to finishing school.” Valerie commented. “He’ll be sixteen soon won’t he?”

“Yes in a couple of months.” Martha replied. “It remains to be seen what will become of that one. Hopefully he’ll be more successful than your cousin George.”

“He works in a swanky hotel doesn’t he.” Valerie recalled. “On the south coast.”

“As a chambermaid!”

“I see… I thought he was a concierge or something.”

“Well you thought wrong.” Martha bluntly stated. “Wilfred did well for himself, and at least Melvin married someone successful.”

“Yes.” Valerie agreed.

“Right… I’ll send a trunk over in the next few days. Make sure everything’s unpacked by weekend.”

“I will Aunt Martha.” Valerie replied. “And thanks for letting me know how David’s getting on. I can’t wait to see him again.”
