News of Winnie had reached, via Isobel Shoosmith, the two retired schoolteachers at Barton-on-Sea.

Loving messages had been despatched to St Richard's, and Interflora had been directed to send a flower arrangement to their old friend.

'I told them to send a small one,' Dorothy told Agnes. 'The right size for a bedside locker but smelling particularly sweet. Freesias, say, or carnations. I must say that the girl who replied seemed to understand what was wanted.'

'I'm sure she knows all about flowers for hospitals,' Agnes assured her.

'Well, I don't know about that! When I did my leg I had great towering bouquets of irises and gladioli, I remember, and the nurses were quite cross. They would keep falling over. The vases, I mean, not the nurses.'

Later that day Dorothy had a bright idea. 'Do you think Winnie would like a week or so here when she is convalescent? We could easily put her up, and the air here is so particularly good. It might be just the thing to pull her round.'
