On the fourteenth there was a complaint about me and she was spoken to about it by Marlcote, on her own, in a chair, at sixty-nine.
In the June she was assessed, which means a stranger sat opposite her for an hour and a half and asked her what year it was and who the prime minister was and whether anybody was influencing her decisions.
She passed it. And she came out of it and did not say one word to me about why it had happened.
And in the July she made an appointment, and a solicitor and a witness came out to Marlcote, and she signed two pages.
All of that, by a woman who was dying, who knew exactly where it had come from, and who had decided in May that she would rather have the four months.
And in all of it I thought her children were simply like that.
