The waste of all that food was a crime. She didn't even apologise — just said there had been a change in plans and there would be just four for the funeral meal. And there was me preparing for fifty!

I nearly walked out then and there, but for Miss Maude. In a week she's lost her mum and Jenny — and her best friend, from what the Waterhouses' char says. She doesn't need me leaving too.
