I must confess I have never really followed the thread of Mrs Günter and Miss Heathlicott’s feud although I do remember that it began when Mrs Günter had a disagreement with my member as to whom was older.

Since records of the time of Mrs Günter’s birth – and for that matter the date – are proving difficult to track down, I consider her efforts wilfully antagonistic – especially since she now insists she is the eldest, in complete contrast to her previous position.

However I gather the brinkmanship resulted in some interesting anomalies in that the number of telegrams Mrs Günter has received from Her Majesty is now quite ridiculous. I even heard that on one occasion she even managed to obtain three in a week (although I gather this did also coincide with the loss of the key card for the library’s electric duplicator).

I would suggest meeting in the passageways outside South Kensington tube – if nothing else Ms. Zimmer will almost certainly be unable to get the Thundersley down there so getting people together should be relatively free of incident for a change.

I am currently of the opinion that perhaps 9:00 on Thursday should maximise the time we have at our disposal and yet still provide me with enough time to get Miss Heathlicott fully braced and out of the home.

If this is difficult for you then let me know, otherwise I shall see you there!

  • The Joy of Drip-Drying

    In clement weather, peg your laundry on the clothes-line rather than using the electric dryer. Drip-drying in this fashion will not only save money but also saves wear on clothes, towels, sheets and – it transpires – poodles.
