In a way this was very upgrading.\u00a0 I had been put to making love in the bran bin and always smelt of chook.\u00a0 For now on we all sat is state in the back of the buggy in the dark and leaking shed.\u00a0 We weren\u2019t niggardly \u2013 the neighbours and their girls \u2013 all of us sitting up in state, riding darkly nowhere at all, but living in a past grown-up land alive with ghostly liverymen and pale proud trotters.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow Jack\u2019s loves seem to have been sidetracked.\u00a0 It is a habit of mine to get off the beam.\u00a0 But that is at it maybe.\u00a0 Jack\u2019s loves were innocent enough but the grand parents used to worry about him helping the help.\u00a0 When she fed the fowls he was missing.\u00a0 If you ask me he was in the bran bin rising out of the unexpected pollard with a barouche on his tongue.<\/p>\n<p>I was sad when brother took the help out one evening.\u00a0 It must have been every bit of nine o\u2019clock before be returned after having been in God knows how many back lanes.\u00a0 The backdoor and side gate had long since been bolted, screwed down and nailed up against all intruders.\u00a0 Even the broken fence back of the barouche shed had been fastened to.\u00a0 Nine o\u2019clock was no time to tug at the great puller beside the front door which spung off the angry bells into the corridors and kitchen, I only heard about it next day.<\/p>\n<p>But as a latter-day destroyer of domestic help he was the terror of Duxford St.<\/p>\n<p>Now domestic help in those days was available and cheap. It was expendable too.\u00a0 The great problem was not so much a matter of kow-towing to the staff \u2013 of bribing them with hot soup and cast-off dresses \u2013 as of keeping them moral and careful of the dignity of established righteous family life.<\/p>\n<p>There comes a time in all young men\u2019s lives when they are conscious of the mysterious amalgam of M and F.\u00a0 I was fully conscious of this fruitful synthesis of the opposites by the time I had matured in Paddingtonianisms at the age of eight.\u00a0 Brother never discussed the mysteries with me but I gather that he understood what it all added up to.<\/p>\n<p>We had an old barouche or town-wagon or cabriolet or some family whatnot \u2013 down in the back shed at Grandpa\u2019s place.\u00a0 It was a wonderful thing, and although the varnish was a dim grey it had a genuine craquelle finish.\u00a0 It had a high driver\u2019s seat with a footbrake and a sometime silverplated receptacle like a narrow guttered epergne to hold the whip which had long since gone the way of the horses which had not warmed the shafts for many years.\u00a0 Behind the box set (the driver\u2019s) was a sort of miniature pub lounge with the seats surrounding U-like and terminating in the up and down folding steps.\u00a0 This ensemble was preserved under a Puritanical layer of tell-tale dust.\u00a0 That is \u2013 until the new help came.<\/p>\n<p>Jack was in disgrace and the help unhelpen.\u00a0 Sad.\u00a0 Because I liked her too.\u00a0 She left next day.\u00a0 We won\u2019t go into Jack\u2019s other loves for he kept them outside the borders.<\/p>\n<p>There was no possibility of any further unhappy family romance in \u201cTrelawny\u201d (Grandpa\u2019s place). Out next useful was a swarthy Amazon with the shoulders of a Strangler Lewis and the bosom of a robin.\u00a0 She had a moustache and beard as vigorous as Archbishop Makarios\u2019 and was as tough as a Cypriot as one could meet in any dark corner of Nicosia.\u00a0 Aunty Bella has picked her out and smugly aware that there would be no hanky-panky between her and brother.\u00a0 I was sure too &#8211; I could not foresee the slightest disgrace darkening the now sunlit portals which overlooked the vistas of Rushcutters Bay.\u00a0 I thought that this help a veritable horror \u2013 and to all believers in the reasonable workings of natural genetics, she was at that.\u00a0 There would be more chance of winning yourself three lotteries running than envisaging scandal hand in hand with this Frankenstein Aunty Bella had cooked up.<\/p>\n<p>Jack naturally behaved like a gentleman and was highly regarded by the family.\u00a0 But I \u2013 being supposedly too young to know what went on, and yet being blessed with an observant eye \u2013 was vastly intrigued by the amount of time our help and an equally uncouth tradesman used to spend in the cupboard under the first floor flight of stairs.\u00a0 Having been dutifully drummed into the adage of being seen and not heard, I kept my peace and was not unduly scandalised when I heard that the lady wrestler had taken the count with the tradesmen in the room on the first floor back.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know how he got in to stay the night- but I do know the lady wrestler left and possibly took the makings of another with her.<\/p>\n<p>After that Aunty Bella did all the work. We had no more trouble.<\/p>\n<p><em>[W.E.
