28th October 1967, Saturday, London.

Uncle Hugh is coming up to London this morning especially to meet Tommy.

“I’m so nervous,” Jane said as she got ready to go to the station. “What if they don’t like each other?”

“They both love you, don’t they?” Adele encouraged her. “Of course they will. They’ll try to, at least, and who could possibly dislike Tommy?”

“No one,” Jane answered, “except the rest of my family.”

“Your Uncle Hugh is making the effort to come here. He wouldn’t do so unless he had an open mind. Don’t meet trouble half way.”

Leilani had her fingers crossed, as they left. The meeting should go all right. Uncle Hugh’s dossier at Angels Central shows he is a sensible man who is very fond of Jane. He hasn’t got any children of his own and he’s always thought of her as a daughter.

Meanwhile, James still hasn’t contacted Gigi. He must have received her letter by now. She’s depressed; Adele is worried and so am I.

Maude is far more down to Earth. “Don't fret about men,” she said to me. “They always do what they want to do. We just put up with the blighters. Personally, I’d hope he stays away. Your job would be a doddle then. It’s easier for the two of them to break up at this point than later on.”

“You’re right, of course.” I said, but, if Gigi finished with James now, my assignment would be effectively over. I’d feel cheated, even though one of the objectives had been achieved.

Gigi spent most of her free time near the telephone, until Adele spotted her and dragged her away.

“No man is worth you getting yourself into a stew about!” Adele told her firmly. “Look at me. I let Ralph get too close and now I'm in a mess.”

“I wish he’d call me. I don't know if he even got my letter.”

“No good brooding. If he does phone, you’ll sound like a wet weekend.” Adele had the grace to grin. “Do as I say, not as I do, of course. We need something to take your mind off him.”

Gigi mentioned that one of the girls at work was having a party in Battersea. She’d been asked, but she did not want to go alone. Adele immediately said she would go with her. Neither Gigi nor Adele knew anyone, except the girl who invited them. They talked to her for a while, until she drifted off to greet other people. Adele spent a lot of time sitting outside on the back steps, drinking and smoking.

“It’s been ages since she’s been to a party,” Maude told me. “Ralph’s much older and so are the people where she works. Everyone holds quiet dinners at home, rather than parties. She’s acting as if she’s fifty, instead of twenty-three.” Adele is living in Swinging London and missing most of the excitement.

At the beginning of the party, Gigi enjoyed herself. The music was loud, the beer went to her head and she felt as if she was floating. When a new record started, she was the first one to start dancing.
