I would guess every now and then this went through the heads of various uncles and aunts of ours.

They all liked him a great deal. And he quite clearly adored both my father and my mother. And he was very fond of us boys. And I think this was a wonderful relief to them,. This is guesswork. But it must be true. It must be a wonderful relief to them that we can leave the rather tricky side of this whole business to Barrie. The ones who were nearest possible to us, there was one Uncle Crompton who I think did help us to a certain extent and also one Aunt Marly Beth (?) on the Davies side. On the du Maurier side, really nothing, fond as we were of them and they of us, they had their own families to look after and didn't really do too much
